I dissagree completely, that would just be an emulation of common 
fanfiction speculation. That profession would be way too superficial 
for Harry. He shows house loyalty in quidditch, being on the team, 
but seems to show no interest in any profesional team as of yet, 
unlike Ron (or Cho). I dont remember ever reading about him showing 
interest in the chudley cannons, in fact in one of the "school books" 
which I think can be considered cannon, he wrote something along the 
lines of ´if youre going to write in my book at least choose a decent 
team´after ron wrote ´chudley cannons´in the book. I forget the 
proper wording, if you want to check, see the lexicon.

Harry may not become an Auror, but to become a quidditch player would 
be a waste of his talents and a litterary dead-end. The justification 
of "taking it easy" is not fitting to Harrys character, he has too 
much of a protective attitude towards people and a feeling of 
responsability than to completely isolate himself in a profession of 
no importance. He is made for greater things
