Maybe all Harry needs (or wants!) is a nonprestigious job.  He spent 
the last 5 years dealing with fame and its downfalls.  A teaching job 
sounds perfect for him-he apparently does love to teach and is good 
at it (considering his progress with Neville!).  He is always 
complaining about how he didn't ask to be famous.  Just a thought.
