Pippin:

It's from 1999

JKR: Erm, well, because all your kids said hello so nicely in the 
background there, I'm going to give you information I haven't
given anyone else, and I will tell you that one of the characters 
- er - one of - one of Harry's class mates, though it's not Harry 
himself, does end up a teacher at Hogwarts, but it is not maybe 
the one you'd think - hint, hint, hint! So, yes one of them does 
end up staying at Hogwarts, but - erm ...

Lydon: Does the kids want to have a guess at it, Kathleen?

Kathleen: Do you like to have a guess at who it is?

Class: Ron

Kathleen: They say Ron ...

JKR: Noooo - it's not Ron ...

Kathleen: [to class] it's not Ron ...

JKR: ... because I can't see Ron as a teacher, no way.

Assuming Harry keeps his powers, IMO Ron and Harry will 
become Aurors, and Hermione will be a political activist, 
eventually becoming the first Muggle-born Minister of Magic. 
I think Neville will be the Hogwarts teacher.
