Luna Lovegood or Hermione Granger! Although you couldn't really talk about Luna's perspective until she started Hogwarts, so that's already a year you couldn't talk about, but once the fifth book starts, she would be a fascinating character to read the viewpoint of. With Hermione, she's there the whole time, and you could even go a bit into what her life as a muggle was like and such.
