I hope my posting and snipping is correct this time, if still not,
I hope the elves will bear with me and help me.

Hi, I have an idea on who will replace Pro. McGonagall as
transfiguration teacher. I guess will not be a good transfiguration
teacher as he cannot transform hisself at will, he's a werewolf and
could only transform during fullmoon. I guess, Tonks will be the new
transfiguration teacher, she's perfect for the job, IMO of course. I
mean, we do not know any other teachers in Hogwarts who are animagus
aside from Prof. McGonagall, don't we? So Tonks would be a good
choice as she can transform herself at will even when she is not an
animagi.

For headmaster of Gryffindor, I guess it will be Hagrid. I don't
think it's true that Prof. McGonagall doesn't trust Hagrid as
somebody here said. If you read again the Phoenix Lament p586 UK
edition, it says "Prof. Dumbledore always valued your views,' said
Pro. McGonagall kindly 'and so do I." If she doesn't trust Hagrid
she would not value his views, isn't it? So I go for Hagrid as
headmaster of Gryffindor and Slughorn for Slytherin and potion and
Lupin for DADA.
