I've always thought it's fairly obvious what Harry will do - be the Defense
Against the Darks Arts teacher at Hogwarts. I'm not saying it's obvious to
be snotty to other theories :) It just seems like JKR has set it up pretty
well. No one else can do the job, how about Harry Potter? Besides, there's
nothing that says Harry can't be a teacher and an auror. If trouble comes,
someone can watch his class for a few days.
