> I am working on getting the canon together for it, but you can see 
in each book the progression of Percy changing sides.  SS/PS has the 
badge going to his head, CoS you find him sending secret messages 
from the burrow, caught reading a book on Diagon Alley that has to 
do with Prefects Who Seek Power.  (and what was it that LV said in 
SS/PS *there is no good and evil - only power and those too weak to 
seek it* or something to that effect).  This is as far as I have 
been able to get so far as far as specifics, but we see him going on 
to Head Boy and then his rise at the MoM.  This is where I get the 
idea of him becoming a DE.  He is young, he is trying to break out 
of what he sees as a joke of a family (argument with his dad) and is 
trying to seek his own power and is seduced into the other side.  If 
he comes back, it will be as a spy.  The other side only wants him 
in order to use him.

were no others, was denied for it?  What is his one big 
weakness/hatred?  What is the one thing that will swing him back to 
the other side?  And who has already shown himself as a wonderful 
teacher of the subject?  Yes, I think that in some way Harry will be 
offered the job.  Not sure if it will be offered out right or as a 
teaching assistant or tutor, but either way, it will chap Snape's 
goat.

No poop for Moonmyyst, just some other ideas; From Becki

You give valid reasons that Percy is going after power, even though 
he is a git, he is not evil.  He has not shown any signs of being 
evil and in order to be a DE, you have to be.  Even Bellatrix says 
to Harry in OoP when he attempts an unforgivible curse that 
you "have to truly mean it" and I don't think he has the evilness. 

In regards to the next DADA, it couldn't be Harry, for one, he is 
still a student, and for a second, I am certian that Jo said that 
Harry could never be a teacher because he could never settle for 
something that boring, (don't remember the exact wording), that he 
would need something with a lot of action.  I would not rule out 
that Snape could be the next DADA.  McGonnagal did say that Snape 
only takes students into his NEWT classes with nothing less than an 
O (outstanding) on their OWLS for him to be an auror.  If he was no 
longer the Potion Master, Harry may be able to get into it and do 
well.
