logic dictates that if Voldemort truly is bent on taking back control
of the wizarding world and later the muggle world, he's not going to
care too much about disrupting classes at a secondary school.  ^_^; 
Undoubtedly, with many of his Death Eaters imprisoned he'll be looking
to recruit once again, and we've already gone over a number of
candidates from Slytherin house - not all of which will graduate until
Harry graduates.  Also, who's to say there aren't potential recruits
in the other houses?

rest of his staff having a hard time keeping the school running as
normal during the next two years, rather than having things that would
pull Harry out of the school come as a "surprise" of any kind.  This
is particularly true when one considers that the biggest threats
Voldemort perceives to his power - Dumbledore and Harry - are both
well entrenched in the school normally.

Also, given what happened to Lucius Malfoy at the end of OoP and
Draco's resentment of Harry as a consequence, I have a feeling we'll
see a lot more of that particular conflict--an angrier and possibly
more dangerous Draco. And I think we'll see a bit of the mysterious
Theodore Nott as well, whether for good or ill, I don't know. It will
be interesting to see how Snape deals with the tensions and conflicts
involving Slytherin and Gryffindor--how to keep the respect of the
students in his own House without revealing where his loyalties really
lie should pose a real dilemma.

No, I don't think we need to go outside Hogwarts quite yet. Save that
for Book 7.

Carol, who knows that "my own House" is movie contamination (in the
books, it's Phineas who uses the phrase) but I couldn't think of any
other way to express my meaning gracefully
