Harry will not become the DADA teacher.  JKR has stated in interviews 
that he will not.  Check out www.hp-lexicon.org/resources.html for 
interviews, or go to www.hp-lexicon.org/index-2.html for an index and 
search engines.  JKR has said both Harry and Hermione will NOT be 
Hogwarts teachers.

You will also see in these interviews that on more than one occasion 
she has responded to a question with something like "So you think 
Harry lives", or "You are assuming Harry lives until the end" (I 
paraphrased these, but you can find details on the referenced sites) 

Now to answer Blyx-I would like to see him live, but I fear he does 
not.  Obviously, we will see him pursue some NEWTS and classes toward 
a career, but we will never see him around to actually have it.

Now just to play devil's advocate, what if Harry sensing that his 
demise is an eventuality, decides he's had enough school and can 
better serve the WW and the OOP by leaving school.  After all, 
precedent has been set by F and G.
