I can't see Dumbledore being the DADA teacher in books 6. He has far
too much to do to be tied at the school all the time. He has to take
part in the Wizard's High Court, he has to take part in the
International Confederation of Wizards in a primary role, he has to
manage The Order of the Phoenix, and he has to take care of his
administrative duties at the school. 

Given that the wizard world is about to be plunged into chaos, the
demands on his time are going to be greater and greater, and I just
don't see him having time for several regularly scheduled classes
every day.


I will add this-

In book 6, Dumbledore can not afford to be DADA techer.

In book 7, Dumbledore can not affort NOT to be DADA teacher.


So, my prediction is-

In book 6, Snape will be DADA teacher, and in book 6, Snape will die.

In book 7, Dumbledore will be DADA teacher, and in book 7, Dumbledore
will die.


For the record-

I think HARRY is the JINX on the DADA teaching position. The bad luck
began when he arrived, and when Harry is finally gone from school, the
bad luck on the job will go with him.

For what it's worth.
