Maybe Dumbledore just thinks Snape would be better at Potions? Plus it provides a useful narrative device for introducing new characters each book.
There must be something in snape's past that makes Dumbledore think that Snape should not get the DADA position but still makes him worthy of being potions master.

The Potters were attached on Halloween night- so they wouldn't have been home for the holidays- also- we dont know that all the teachers live there- only the heads of house HAVE to- they can't ALL be single- I'm sure a couple live "off campus" and since they are wizards, they could live ANYWHERE and just apparate home from Hogsmead- although I think Godric's Hollow is probably near Hogwarts- Godric WAS a founder, I'm sure he founded a school near his home-

I thought about Buckbeak, but i thought that if i metioned him, i'd have to metion Crookshanks and Hedwig and that.
Firenze and the other centaurs. Bellatrix, Winky and can we have the knight bus driver in as well, what's his name again? -

Ok, I think I know who's gonna die. My friend and I have found numerous hints towards this in the books. Here's one:
In book 5, I think in chapter 16 (I'm not sure) They are all in Flitwick's classroom, and they have teacups whizzing around everywhere. Now, Ron's teacup falls off the table and breaks, but hermione fixes it for him, but then, Hermiones falls off the table and shatters. I don't remember her fixing it. We think that Hermione will die saving Ron's life. JKR did say that a long standing character would die. There are other clues too, but this is just one of the main ones. -

This is a bit off the above topics, but I'm sure moaning Myrtle must know more about events that happened around the time Tom Riddle was at school and could be a valuable resource.

about lily and james.... i think they were unspeakables, and making a weapon against volde. Then volde found out, so dumbledore sent them away to gordrics hollow, and we haven't anything about it so maybe its a very safe place. That may be why we dont know a lot about them, and it would prob. pay a lot of money.

I have a feeling that Fawkes was originally Godric Gryffindor's pet and Nagini (?spelling) was originally the pet of Salazar Slytherin. So perhaps a showdown between the two in book 7? -

That sounds better than the animagus thing. I mean, they are 2 pets which could easily live to be up to old age. If this was true, and if Harry was the heir of gryffindor, then maybe Dumbledore will give Harry Fawkes. Suppose the heir only realises that he is the heir when he comes of age or something.
Maybe Dumbledore is gryffindor's heir. Then he would have loaned Godric's Hollow to the potters and that's why he has Fawkes.
