OK I have two things in this post.
1) Ever So Evil Harry

me(laxer):
Personally I think that it is very unlikely that Harry turns permenantly evil at the end of book seven, or ever for that matter.  The main reason I have for this is that JKR has spent a long time making Harry Potter this kind of role model for the kids reading the books.  She even said (more or less) "dont like draco.  hes is BAD" (ok so its not word for word, but its what she meant) Harry is right now the person whom all the little tykes are looking up at, cause he is the main character.  If he goes permenantly evil, parents wont want their kids reading a book that says, in the end, "haha evil is ok" (ok so its a bit simplistic, its what it would more or less say) so people will stop reading her books. she doesnt want that to be her legacy.  Also, if Harry ends up permenantly evil, the series looses its positive message, and it would (probably) spark an outcry from religious groups cause the main character is signing his soul over to satan.  Personally I dont think that she can
 withstand a second outcry from those groups.
 
2) Harry as DADA teacher.
I dont think he would make a good teacher, especially now because he doesnt actually know that much more than the next person.  I think that he succedes through intuition and natural talent, and knowing a *few* more spells than the next fifth year.  Now he has taught those spells to the others besides the Slyths.  He might do ok as an assistant who tutors the first through fourth years, but there is no way he could teach the sixth and seventh year students cause he wont know the spells himself.
