She has a number of staff positions to fill, not only DADA but

guesses whom she might pick, considering that JKR says we've
met all the important characters?

va32h here:

Assuming Hogwarts opens at all, I think enrollment would be so small 
that a minimal staff would be needed. McGonnagal could continue to 
teach Transfiguration and be Headmistress. Any of the other teachers 
could take the role of Deputy Head. That leaves DADA and Head of 
Gryffindor, which could be the same person, assuming anyone is willing 
to take on the Curse.(as an aside, I really hate the Curse plot twist).

But perhaps an Auror like Tonks, confident in Harry's ability to defeat 
Voldemort and thus end the curse, would be up for it. And I don't doubt 
Tonks was a Gryffindor. 

I think we may have to add Potions to the list, as Slughorn didn't look 
to sure about staying on after Dumbledore died. For that, I have no 
clue, as we haven't seen any available character with particular 
Potions skill. 

I do think Harry will have to return to Hogwarts, but that doesn't mean 
it has to be open to students. The idea of the Trio skulking about a 
deserted Hogwarts is suitably spooky for a book called The Deathly 
Hallows, don't you think?
