(Good reasons snipped)

In addition, I think Harry is in for some disillusionment about 
Aurors.  Sirius pointed out that Moody at least made an effort not 
to kill DEs, even when Crouch had authorised them to.

Their role in Fudge's attempt to arrest Dumbledore (and Umbridge's 
to arrest Hagrid) suggests they may be a pretty tainted body, and I 
think it would fit with JKR's habit of undermining and debunking her 
own creations to have Harry in opposition, or at least tension, with 
them for most of the rest of the series.

We may get the scenario where a still-ambitious and fundamentally 
unrepentant Fudge offers to accelerate auror training for Harry 
while he is still at school, to try to detach him from Dumbledore 
and keep the lead in the anti-Voldemort fight under MOM control as 
much as possible.

This could be a real temptation for Harry, either because the 
(rival) Order of the Phoenix keeps its overage-only rule, or 
because, for any of a number of reasons, the Order is no more 
attractive to him than the MOM.
