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?<<<



--Ronin's Comments--
I agree that Moody being retired and having experience in the field would be a good choice. But personally, I'm not impressed by Moody. He's supposed to be this legendary auror and can see through the back of his head, yet he was overtaken by Barty jr. and was the first to fall at the MoM. Teaching may be perfect for him because he has the experience and knowledge, but seems a bit too old or out of step to be in the mix when it comes to acting now. Combining his knowledge with the strong protections already placed on the school, he would be a great choice for DADA.

I don't see that transfiguration has to be re-assigned. McGonagall could still teach it, just as Umbridge kept her teaching position when she assumed the role of Headmistress and High Inquisitor. If Umbridge could do it, certainly, Minerva McGonagall could do it and be much more effective. The head of Gryffindor House would probably need to be re-assigned though, so that it didn't seem like she was showing favoritism to a certain house over another.

I'm also very curious about Aberforth's role. I really have no idea what it may be, but I can't wait to find out.

Cheers,
Ronin
