One thing I've thought of: if Hogwarts professors are married, and 
unless they have homemaker spouses, than they probably work 
*outside* of Hogwarts. Which means they have reliable transportation 
in and out of Hogwarts, which could be exploited by Voldemort and 
the DE's. This also means there could be additional firepower (i.e. 
adult wizards) if Hogwarts is attacked. 

So: my prediction/theory is that the spouses of professors will 
become important when Voldemort attacks Hogwarts in either book 6 or 
7. This would pull a number of threads together--Dobby, the 
centaurs, the unheard of spouses, the chamber of secrets, etc. And I 
wonder what magical protection Hogwarts might have to fight back as 
well.
