People seem to be taking an All-or-Nothing approach to Harry returning
to the Hogwarts. I guess part of it depends on whether you thing Harry
will truly start training in ernest, or whether he will continue to
remain clueless and blunder his way through to victory. 

Logically, he will certainly return to Hogwarts again, but whether he
returns as a normal student, or whether he returns for special
training by the Professors, or to recover his precious 'Prince'
Potions book remains to be seen.

I think Harry's best course of action would be for Harry to take up
residence at 12 Grimmauld Place, re-Secret Keeper it with himself as
the Secret Keeper, then re-establish it as the headquarters of the new
Order of the Phoenix. 

The new purpose of the new Order would be training Harry (and Ron and
Hermione) and looking for clues to the remaining Horcruxes. Part of
that training would include periodically venturing to Hogwarts in the
evening for specialized training from all the remaining Professors.
Part of it would be training and general instruction from members of
the Order. The remainder of time would be spent looking for the Horcruxes.

I can also see him periodically venturing into the Ministry of Magic
offices for help and information. Although, I think he will continue
to refuse to help the Ministry in it's policial efforts. None the
less, he will, through a trace of coercion, enlist the help of the
Minstry.

Sadly, as logical as it seems, I'm not convinced that Harry won't
continue with his blundering forward approach. It will be somewhat
disappointing if Harry just stumbles around, and 'magically' finds the
remaining Hercruxes. 

Personally, as you can tell, I think it's time for Harry to start
getting serious, and to take advantage of every resource he has
available to him. That's what I think /should/ happen, but as I said,
I'm not convinced it will.
