vmonte:
Can't we assume that the school will reopen since JKR mentioned in
an interview that one of the students would end up teaching there?

Connection (WBUR Radio), 12 October, 1999

Kathleen: Anyway, it's very exciting; we just love Harry Potter, so
we're curious - well - first of all we can't wait for books four,
five, six and seven [JKR: OK], but after that, we're curious as to
whether Harry is going to have a life after Hogwarts? Or if maybe
Harry might be a Hogwarts teacher?

JKR: Erm, well, because all your kids said hello so nicely in the
background there, I'm going to give you information I haven't given
anyone else, and I will tell you that one of the characters - er -
one of - one of Harry's class mates, though it's not Harry himself,
does end up a teacher at Hogwarts, but it is not maybe the one you'd
think - hint, hint, hint! So, yes one of them does end up staying at
Hogwarts, but - erm ...

Lydon: Does the kids want to have a guess at it, Kathleen?

Kathleen: Do you like to have a guess at who it is?

Class: Ron

Kathleen: They say Ron ...

JKR: Noooo - it's not Ron ...

Kathleen: [to class] it's not Ron ...

JKR: ... because I can't see Ron as a teacher, no way.
