Although it does not explicitly say at the end of the seventh book, it is generally acknowledged that Professor Minerva McGonagall was reappointed as head master after Voldemort was defeated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minerva_McGonagall McGonagall served as Headmistress of Hogwarts during Albus Dumbledore's absence from Hogwarts in Harry's second year, and also briefly in the sixth book of the series. She acted as headmistress when the Heads of House decided the school would reopen, but before the 1997-98 school year commenced, Professor Severus Snape was appointed Headmaster on Lord Voldemort's orders. She remained a member of the Order of the Phoenix. She was later reappointed as Headmistress, but Rowling has stated that by the time of the epilogue in 2017 (19 years after the battle), she no longer held the position. Nov 26 07, 8:01 PM
