What a shame.  I really liked that theory.  Can I jump at straws and
interpret "end up" as "teach for a career", which would still let
Harry take the job for just one year?  Or is this like believing Tom
Riddle is the HBP even after JKR has said it isn't Voldemort?  I fear
so.  Drat.

It would have been so nice for the "new DADA teacher every year" plot
device and the "running out of candidates" thread to have some
ultimate point besides being a vehicle to introduce new characters. 
Or does it have one?  Any ideas, anyone?
