Potioncat:
Let's not assume too quickly that McGonagall will be the Headmistress. 
She's filling that position for the remainder of the school year, and 
yes, Hogwarts itself accepts her as Headmistress. The board may choose 
someone else. We have canon for at least one Headmistress coming 
straight from St. Mungo's.

I would bet, that short of someone from outside the school coming in, 
McGonagall will be Headmistress and Slughorn will be Deputy. I'm not 
sure the Deputy is actually determined by the Headmistress either, but 
most likely is.
