AS much as I would like a fairy-tale ending for Harry, I don't think 
he may have a place after Hogwarts. He will spend the rest of his 
life knowing that he has seen his greatest victory and beaten his 
greatest challenge. Also, the wizarding world isn't worthy enough for 
him. Bear with me, I have been writing a research paper all day.

Well In her interview, JK hinted that Harry wouldn't be able to be an 
auror. Something to the extent of "you will get a glimpse of what 
might keep him from becoming an auror". I mean besides teaching DADA, 
what would he enjoy. 

I have not ruled out DADA, in fact, I like it. I read earlier that 
JKR said that no one in the trio will be a Hogwarts teacher. I always 
thought it just simply not who you would expect. Anyway, I have two 
endings I like...

Harry, possessing Voldemort and the both of them dying together. The 
last scene behind the veil, Harry is with Lily, James, Sirius, 
Cedric, and the short little man who looks like he has Harry's wobbly 
knees (SS - mirror scene)

2nd ending - after Hogwarts, Harry teaching DADA, Hermione and Ron 
come to visit and their 5 year old son says to Harry "Uncle Harry, 
can you tell me how you beat Voldemort?" Harry pauses and unknowingly 
puts fingers up the spot on his forehead where there had once been a 
scar.

with Sirius)
