How about having Aberforth Dumbledore as the next DADA teacher?

Considering how Hermione learns all she knows from books, a teacher
who doesn't appreciate reading at *all* would teach her humility. (I
got this from how his brother "isn't certain he can read"...)

As one subject probably would be DANGEROUS books, Ron knows of those
quite a lot more than Hermione. Not just the Riddle Diary, but also:
one that burns your eyes out, one that you can never stop reading...
Ron had quite an impressive list to give when Harry found the Riddle
Diary! A class where Ron can shine, but Hermione not!

I do think Albus Dumbledore would ask his brother now - after all, he
*was* unable to find a teacher, and after Umbridge *preventing* the
kids from learning by having them do nothing but a reading practice
suitable by someone learning how to read, not 15-year-olds who most
definately know how to read, and NO practical magic allowed at all.
(and when the kids get learn practical DADA on their own, she declares
it illegal) Old Albus may well think that let's have someone who does
just the opposite...
