I checked all the messages ever since HBP was released and didn't find a
discussion about the Headmaster/Headmistress in Book 7.

McGonagall is Headmistress in HBP after DD died (:-( ), but is she the new
Headmistress in general or only an interim headmistress? Despite the fact
that she was Deputy Headmistressback when DD was Headmaster, that doesn't
mean she is the new Headmistress right away. Maybe she just does the job
until the MoM finds a new (more suitable - for them?) person for this job?
Just a thought... After all, she is the the head of Gryffindor. Who will
take over in her place?
Madame Trelawney? Gosh, I hope not! She seems more like a Ravenclaw to me...

Maybe Madame Hooch? She might fit in, though I am not sure about that yet.
I'd rather not mention Professor Binns - he's a ghost, after all, isn't he?
And I doubt he and Headless Nick would get along.

And now that Snape is no longer at Hogwarts, there also has to be a new head
of Slytherin, right? I just can't find anyone suitable for Slytherin, as I
have the feeling the head of house has to be someone who fits in with the
characteristics of each house... Any ideas?
Well, maybe Professor Sinistra, after all, her name sounds a lot like the
word sinister...


But back to the position of Headmaster/Headmistress...
I really wonder if McGonagall is the Headmistress for the next
years/decades. But if not, who will take that place?
Could DUMBridge come back? She is alive, after all... I so hope not :-) This
woman is despicable and will never change.
What about Fudge? He was Minister, but now that he has been replaced, he
would be free, wouldn't he? Naw, Headmaster has to be someone with a strong
will and knowledge - and Fudge doesn't seem right for the position then,
huh?
Maybe the Longbottom's are "cured" and back up again? Then one of them could
take over the position? It would be a little like to right a wrong.
Did I miss someone?
