But James wasn't hailed as being good at Defense, even
though he was Headboy. He was hailed for
Transfigurations and Quiddich. I would also think they
would decide against placing a just graduated student
as a full time teacher. He was have no respect from
the upperclassmen, even if he was the famed James
Potter. Second,  he was able to disappear easily,
which he would not have been able to do as a teacher.
Third, many characters many times say Hogwarts is the
safest place in the world. Why would James and Lily go
out of Hogwarts into hiding if they were already safe?

This goes with what I thought about Harry becoming a
teacher. I think he will, but not until many, close to
seven, years pass after he graduates.
