Potioncat:
We know Headmaster Black was married and had a family; and Professor Longbottom is (will be) married and will live at the Three Broomsticks (per a JKR interview. We know Professors Hagrid, Slughorn, Snape, Lupin, Trelawney and Dumbledore were single. McGonagall is at every Christmas dinner that I can recall--so I think she is currently single. I don't think Sprout or Flickwick are ever at the Christmas dinner--they have someplace to go over the holidays and could have spouses.

All I know about living arrangements for teachers at British boarding schools I learned from "To Serve Them all my Days"--and the married teacher had a house or apartment at the school. I don't see why that wouldn't work at Hogwarts and there would be no reason for Harry to even know about it.

But it's anyone's guess.
