JW:
JKR has also said that Krum will be back.  I anticipate him as the 
transfiguration professor, as a result of his performance in task 2 
of the TWT.  I would not be surprised if Bill Weasley takes some some 
time away from Gringotts to apply his curse-breaking skills as a DADA 
teacher.

As for the longer term, I would not be surprised if Luna becomes a 
professor - if she lives through DH.  Otherwise, it is difficult to 
point towards anybody in addition to Neville.  I have difficulty 
visualizing any other of the present students becoming teachers.  
Hmmm... Draco????  Could he become a junior Snape if Severus gets 
himself blown up in DH?

If the WW allows non-humans to join in the big magical circle and all 
sing Cumbaiyah(spelling?), then perhaps more non-humans will join the 
HW faculty.  Goblin bankers for arithmancy?  House-elves for... 
for... never mind.
