I agree this is very highly likely. She has all the right passion and 
righteousness for a cause. Being in Hogwarts her actions were... 
err...not very effective. Working in Ministry can enable her to make 
some serious differences. I imagine Hermione could be so much more, 
do something very influential for the wizard world. ;) 

On the other hand I would love to see Ron to become a professional 
Qudditch player, being a equal star and playing against the likes of 
Krum. ;)  

And I would really want Neville to become an Auror. 
I don't remember how it goes exactly, didn't Rowling mention one of 
the kids will become a Hogwart teacher? Most guess that that person 
would be Neville, being the next Herbology teacher. But why would 
they need a new one if we still have Professor Sprout? (unless she 
died or resigned, god bless her!). After OOP, it occurs to me how 
nice it would be if Neville would follow his parents' footstep to 
become an Auror. He has undergone such amazing transformation in this 
book, I'm sure he'll do great things in future too (just because he 
weren't the "chosen" boy doesn't mean he's a nobody as he believed 
himself to be.) 

I speculate Harry will be the one to become a Hogwart teacher - the 
DADA teacher. It seems to be that this running joke of the series 
(the job is jinx! No DADA teacher ever survives!) was because, the 
job is fated to be Harry's job. ;)  It would be perfect, Harry living 
in Hogwarts as his "final home". And the catch? It is to see the 
reaction on Snape's face when he found out he has once again miss out 
on the job, forever, to Harry Potter. (would be funnier if Harry 
started calling him "Severus")
