Potioncat:
JKR has set some real tension over this issue or should I say these 
issues...Harry's Potion OWLs and Snape as DADA (as apposed to DaDa 
as the twins call him....sorry)

In spite of the conversation with Umbride I'm not convinced he wants 
DADA.  But yes, this would be an interesting way of dealing with the 
situation and it would be interesing seeing the two of them in this 
situation.  Harry is good at DADA and interested in it and needs it.

I think it would be interesting to see Molly as a teacher. 
(Potions?) She did mention once a love potion she brewed while at 
Hogwarts.  Aren't they against the rules?  Where did she set up her 
cauldron, do you think? On the other hand, the way she went to work 
on those beasties at Grimmauld Place, maybe she'll be the new DADA 
teacher.
