I'd say let's keep it "real" for the time being. Say what you will about the plot, JK Rowling sure did get their characters right for being kids and all.
We can build up to "rationalist" Harry over time.
Eriol from Nanona StrikerS? He'd be able to take over the arithmacy professor's job. (Midchildan and Belkan magic basically being science and mathematics engineering applied to magic and all.)
As for DAtDA... Negi would have his hands full with his own class already, but I got the perfect guy for the job. Someone who has not only had extensive dealings with dark magic, but is also genre savvy enough to not only anticipate, but also possibly even find and disarm the DAtDA curse.
Harry. Freakin'. Dresden.
The best part is that he can set the classroom on fire, and it'll be just another Tuesday at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
