Sevarem:
Really, I don't think Lockhart will be getting out of St. Mungo's
anytime soon.  His plotline was in CoS and his brief appearance in OotP
was more of a goofy cameo than anything else. (And, I suppose, to
highlight the very real damange he had done to himself and the other
witches and wizards he did the memory charm on). Quite simply, he's
served his purpose in the series and with everything JKR has to
accomplish in the 7th book, I don't think she has time to touch on
Lockhart. As far as I can tell, he's just not important to the plot anymore.
