Finwitch:

It would -- though Kingsley would do well, too. But, of course, Moody
being retired, he has the time to teach. Any old, retired Auror would
as well, but let's keep Moody.

During Harry's OWL-years, the new person introduced was the
DADA-professor. This apparently changed, when Snape was moved to the
DADA-position and Slughorn was the new one in Potions!

Transfiguration-teacher... That's the new one, now, I'd say. It could
be Tonks or a new character. Possibly one of the *registered* animagi.

Anyway -- where will Aberforth fit in? Is he going to stay in the bar
and Harry goes there, get a teaching job, is he needed to 'wake'
Albus' portrait or something?

Jeremiah:

Oooohhhh... Never thought about Aberforth having a portrait of his brother.
So, harry would have to go to the Hogs Head to see Aberforth and chat with
DD's portrait. Hmmm...

I'm sure, as someone posted a few weeks ago, that Aberforth has had a keen
little business keeping Hogwarts stocked with bezoars and that might be a
nice thing for Harry to have around, seeing as they are "rare."

Plus, dies anyone else think that Aberforth would be kind enough so supply
harry and his plas with a free butterbeer from time to time? Naw, me
neither.

I see Professor Sinestra stepping up as next in line for Head Mistress (I'm
sure there's something ver scientific in minerva and sinestra's Friendship)
or, perhaps Prof Vector?

Yeah, Moody would be cool as the new DADA prof but I'd like Kinglsey, too.
but Tonks as transfiguation? Her skills are from birth. She can't really
teach that, can she? And she said she didnt' do well in most other
catagories to become an Auror so I'd assume she's not really up for the
professor role.

However, Slughorn was good at transifuring himself into a chair. That would
be a great trick to pull as a transfiguration teacher. And he did stand in
as the Slytherin HoH... maybe he'll stay on, since Hogwarts is still prety
well protected. Plus, he's got all his stuff there.

How do we all feel about a House Elf revolution? That would be fun, huh?
