Honestly, I think we will get a new DADA teacher.  The trend in 
each novel has been to present at least one new character who 
will be the *new* DADA teacher.  Here is a quick breakdown of the 
DADAs.  

Year 1: Quirrell (good guy taken over by a bad guy
thus bad guy)
Year 2: Lockheart (looser, playboy, fraud
umm
list goes on
bad guy)
Year 3: Lupin (good guy, had to leave due to threat of parental 
revolt)
Year 4: Moody (this good guy locked up, bad guy pretending to be 
the good guy)
Year 5: Umbridge, (good girl
but mostly bad natured, and ultimately 
played the role of bad girl)

Thus, it seems almost certain that we will have a new DADA in HBP.
The better question is, will the new DADA end up on the side of 
good or bad (typically bad) and what must Harry learn from the DADA 
to prepare him for his fight with LV?
