Hrmm... Will this "new teacher" be the female DADA teacher JKR talked about before?
Edit: I forgot the name of the witch when I initially posted this and only remembered now. The speculation is Arabella Figg will be the next DADA teacher (unless Lupin comes back). Mrs. Figg is the lady who lives near the Dursleys. Aunt Petunia leaves Harry with Mrs. Figg on Dudley's birthday. Her house smells like cats and cabbages. Interesting.... And Mrs. Figg is also in the list of wizards Dumbledore calls upon at the dark end of
Goblet of Fire. :)
