But JKR's spells tend to be verbs in the active singular, e.g. "Exspecto Patronum" means "I await the protector" and "Accio" translates as "I summon."  Thus I don't think it's likely to be a spell. <


Hells:

The trouble with this argument is that you are supporting it with 
"I" spells, eg, "I want the thing" and "I want protection". These should naturally be in the active singular. How about spells that would affect the other person? Such as Bat bogey hex, jelly legs, 
etc.

on patterns in JKR's writing, the most likely answer is that he is 
an auror who will be the new DADA teacher and probably also teach 
Harry Occlumency. < 


Hells:

I think the new DADA will be the real Mad Eye Moody; after all he probably still hasn't taught them what Dumbledore wanted him to, 
and he's had a year to recover after his ordeal in GoF. Dumbledore will definitely want someone he can trust and it can't hurt to have 
a paranoid ex-auror around.

There is a popular theory floating about that the 7 potion bottles 
in Snape's task in PS = the 7 DADA teachers. The "twins at first 
sight, but different inside" (paraphrased) would support this, 2 
DADAs that look alike, but are different people inside.
