Johnny Depp would never have had a shot at being cast in Harry Potter because it was agreed upon at the begining that except for the Beauxbatons and Drumdtrag students all the cast would be from the same country as the character int he book - the brits would be british, the Irish would be Irish etc.
That being said, I think he would have made a hilarious Gilderoy Lockheart. Though Kenneth Brannagh was excellent in the role and I think he was perfectly cast.

That said, I wouldn't have him play anyone. He's a great actor, but the Potter cast is prefer. I wouldn't change a single one of them.

okay so...
Peeves
Sirius
Lupin
Dobby (lol, not really)
Xenophilius
;)

2 words. Sirius.Black. Sirius would be the perfect role for him! I can even imagine him with the hair! That said though I do love the Sirius Black who was cast. I cried so much when he died. But if Johnny Depp would be a character I would have him as Sirius.
I have to agree with Adam. Peeves! That would be brilliant. He is my favorite character that didn't make it to the movies and I think the films are so well cast I can't imagine replacing anyone, especially not Gary Oldman! Now I have to re-read the entire series imagining a wickedly playful Johnny Depp flying around.

Gary Oldman did well? Gary Oldman was fantastic, he is one of the greatest actors out there. He hasn't won awards, but he doesn't need to because if anyone has seen his movies knows what a great actor he is.
Johnny Depp is a good actor? I don't even think he is mediocre, i haven't liked a single role he has ever done, and he would have ruined Harry Potter had he been in it.

Point taken.

Johnny Depp = Harry
Johnny Depp = Snape
Johnny Depp = Dumbledore
Johnny Depp = Any of the Weasleys
Johnny Depp = Hermione
Obviously, I am kidding. But Depp doesn't shy away from any character.
