So, I too am convinced that Harry will have had his fill of Dark
Wizard fighting by the time all this is over. Given his current
wealth, the wealth I predict he will inherit from Sirius, and the
wealth he will earn from Weasley's business enterprises, Harry will
spend his life comfortably wealthy, engage in business ventures and
charitable endeavors.

I would hope that Harry would put his energy and money into programs 
for young orphaned wizards and witches to keep them on the path to 
an honest good life! Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville could take 
them on trips to see dragons and the ancient tombs.

Well, I'm one of the "ignorant" ones that believes Harry IS going to 
be an auror :-) After all, the one thing, apart from Quidditch, that 
he is REALLY good at is DADA. And he knows it and enjoys it. He has 
demonstrated in OoP that he is seriously interested in pursuing such 
a career(much more than in GoF, where he thought to himself he'd have 
to check the extend of injuries on other aurors apart from Mad-EWye 
Moody before he thought of a career as an auror :-). He also has the 
full support of his head of house. Harry seemed to be thoroughly 
fascinated when visiting the auror headquarters at the MoM. I agree 
that he'll probably be dead tired of dark wizards at the end of book 
7, but he'll have the whole summer to recover before startig auror 
training in the autumn... :-) I honestly can't see Harry in any other 
occupation. I also hope to see Ron working alongside him as his 
partner. Hermione will most definitely not be an auror; I see her 
either in politics or research, working for the rights of elfs or 
what have you :-) Why not; in twenty, or maybe fifty years, Hermione 
might be the new Minister For Magic!
