And just what is wrong with Harry becoming a teacher!?! (Sorry, I am 
a teacher).  Personal bias aside, that may what Harry does end up 
doing, one of the things that stuck me most is how well Harry seemed 
to be doing teaching the D.A. classes.  I can see Harry spending a 
few years as auror, getting bored/burned out and taking over the DADA 
classes at Hogwarts (I mean come on, they can't keep getting a new 
teacher every year can they?).
