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.

vmonte responds:

Molly as potions teacher?  I would have never thought of this.  I 
know you are probably joking, but I would love to see a nurturing 
person as potions teacher for a change.  If DD thought that Molly's 
life was in danger he might just put her at the school.  She seems to 
set high standards for her children.  Maybe she was like Hermione at 
school?  And I can see Neville really doing well in potions with a 
different kind of teacher.

Making Snape a DADA teacher would be interesting, but can DD get away 
with using Snape?  He was a DE after all.  Still, I would like to see 
what Snape's bogart would look like...
