Pippin, quoting JKR: "I will tell you that one of the characters, one
of Harry's classmates, though it's not Harry himself, does end up a
teacher at Hogwarts. But, it is not, maybe the one you think, hint,
hint, hint."

Okay, Hermione's out.

JKR again:"Do you guys have a guess as to who it is? (Kids shouting in
background) Ron They say Ron. No, it's not Ron. I can't see Ron as a
teacher. No way. --------"

Me either.

Cathy guessed Neville; likely enough. (Nothing is too good for Neville
in my book.)

"Jim (me): 'I don't believe there can be any objection anymore to
Lupin as a teacher, BTW.'

Pippin: Really? Could you elaborate? It certainly doesn't sound in OOP
as if the WW have lost their objections to werewolves."

A lot of prejudices will be swept aside now, IMO, now that it's down
to survival of the wizard world against Voldemort.  At this point
Dumbledore can pretty much do whatever he wants, and Fudge's opinion
isn't worth a plugged Knut anywhere.  It would be like Dumbledore to
reappoint Lupin (if he'd take it).  

DD needs Lupin at Hogwarts, as a teacher, which he's excellent at, as
another mentor and protector for Harry, and to help fight the War.  So
yes, I think it can be done.  It probably isn't the solution we'll see
in HBP, but it's what I'd do.
