I"m sure other teachers have had children at Hogwarts.  I'd almost 
bet money that Sprout and McGonagall have both had kids come 
through.  And it would be lots of fun seeing Molly teaching Ron and 
Ginny!

But, I don't think it will happen either.

Potioncat:
So, why did DD allow Snape to fill in for Lupin if he would be 
dangerous in the position?  Or did he slip in and only teach the 
Trio's class?

Yes, I'd love to see that conflict if Snape did get DADA.  But I 
have to say for the record, I'm not fully convinced he wants it.
