Julie:
You've touched on my favorite future Hogwarts scenario, Neville as 
Herbology professor and Draco as Potions professor. Can't you just 
see the two of them becoming the next generation's Lupin and Snape, 
though without the deeper personal bitterness toward each other? 
Professor Malfoy delivering his sarcastic commentary, Professor 
Longbottom blithely letting it all wash over him, thus frustrating 
Professor Malfoy into even more sarcastic commentary...

I'd love it!
