Oh, you gave me goosebumps reading all this.  I
love that ending.  I also had noticed that the
next World Cup is due right after Harry leaves
Hogwarts and that just seemed to be a bit
coincidental to me.  

While I agree with Darrin that the rest of the WW
may want Harry to be more than a Quidditch
player, continuing to expect him to be larger
than life and carry heavy burdens, it's also not
a stretch that they would go for Harry playing
Quidditch for England when you consider their
attitude toward Bagman in the Pensieve.  It seems
the WW puts as much admiration into their
Quidditch stars as the Muggle world puts into
sports stars.

I also want more for Harry than a life having to
live up to unrealistic expectations or having to
take on other people's burdens.

Maybe after winning the World Cup, Harry becomes
a coach for the Chudley Canons and they finally
win something?  Ron would be playing for them and
together they bring the team to greatness.  That
would be cool.

I also want to see Harry end up back in Godric's
Hollow.  Even if the house is destroyed, he can
rebuild it, the property would still be his and
it would also be nice for him to be able to
settle down to a simple life, having Quidditch as
his occupation.
