Honestly, I've always thought it would be great if Harry one day 
became Headmaster of Hogwarts, he does consider it like his home, 
and it's the first place he was ever happy.  I can just see him in 
that office when he's older, and someone has to take of Fawkes after 
Dumbledore.  I can see Harry as a DADA teacher, too, look at him 
with the DA group.  He loves Quidditch, but I don't see him doing it 
professionally, though he'll never be able to escape his fame, the 
last five years are proof of that, he's already a legend.  I don't 
really see him as a Healer either, but I guess you never know.  This 
is of course if he lives beyond the seventh book (and if he dies, 
I'm never reading the seventh book again).  

There are my two cents. :)
