you're maybe right, but please, please don't use metaphors you don't know nothing about. Talent itself in fact can be passed on child from parent in very high percentage, especially math talent...have you ever hear about Pauli family or just read biography of any mathematician, and you'll see that their parents had advanced skills in math...

Dumbledore taught Transfiguration before becoming Head Master.
IF Dumbledore is alive(as I believe he is) what better way to keep an eye on Harry than to teach his old subject???I think it's more than coincidence that JKR mentioned in CoS that Dumbledore was the Transfiguration teacher before becoming the Headmaster.
I'm probably wrong but I strongly believe that whoever is teaching transfiguration in Book 7 will be Dumbledore in disguise(poly-juice or some spell or Dumbledore is a meta-morphmagis).
Clues: Riddle's mention that "the transfiguration teacher Dumbledore never trusted me..."
Tonks' stating in OotP that "meta-morphmagi are born not made, you have to use a spell or potion to change your appearence"(paraphrase I know).
The numerous mentions of Poly-juice potion and changing physical appearence throughout all of the books since CoS
The odd coincidence that McGonagle and Albus Dumbledore are/were both Transfiguration teachers becoming becoming head of the school.
