Well, if this scenario comes to pass that he has a choice of where to 
go once he graduates, there's always Sirius (whether his name's 
cleared or not) or if he must maintain the public appearances, he 
might stay with Remus. Alternatively, if his real family is as 
wealthy and important as is implied, then maybe there is a house out 
there that he owns, or will officially when he comes of age.

As for a career path - well, assuming he actually lives past his 
seventh year (I'm not sure this is certain - I hope, but...) I'm sure 
that if Voldie isn't dead, or can't be proven beyond a shadow of a 
doubt to be permanently dead this time, he'll feel obligated to 
somehow continue the fight. Whether this would be through Dumbledore 
(if he lives), the ministry (Aurors), or some other group, I don't 
think he'd feel he has the right, given who/what he is to stop 
fighting.

On the other hand, if he keeps fighting outside of full-time Auror 
duties, he might consider becoming a teacher as well (as this would 
still be helping as, to make sure others are ready to defend 
themselves). Or Quidditch - this could work very well for him 
if he were doing any spying say - lots of travel, interracting with 
lots of people...

I see him taking up Quidditch especially in a situation where a)he 
lives, and b)Voldie is completely dead, or so soundly thrashed that 
Harry feels comfortable that he won't be a serious threat again for 
many years.
