Anne Squires:

You should see message 	#168812 by Hickengruendler. It's part of a
thread entitled "Student who becomes a teacher." 

To summarize, JKR has ruled out Harry and Ron as becoming faculty
members at Hogwarts.  She has strongly suggested that Hermione will
*not* become a professor.  She has said that *one* of Harry's
classmates will become a teacher.  Given these hints many people have
concluded that Neville suits the bill.
