Hah!
Answering my own question, I've found it...
in an interview given on 12/10/99, the following exchange occurred:
"Kathleen: Anyway, it's very exciting; we just love Harry Potter, so
we're curious - well - first of all we can't wait for books four,
five, six and seven [JKR: OK], but after that, we're curious as to
whether Harry is going to have a life after Hogwarts? Or if maybe
Harry might be a Hogwarts teacher?
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 ..."
Luckdragon:
Thanks to both Geoff & Pippin for pointing this quote out to me. No more Firewhiskey for me, I guess.
Harry just got so much enjoyment teaching the DA that it was the first thing to come to mind. I could see him as a professional Quidditch player, but I'm not sure that would be fullfilling enough for him with his DADA skills. As for being an Auror, that is likely the best choice, but I fear he will end up looking like Mad Eye a few years down the road and that would not do. I also wonder if he will have had his fill of excitement and fighting when he is through with LV & his gang. Besides the WW will have to unite to fight LV, so what would they need Aurors for afterwards.
Perhaps Harry will become the Muggle Prime Minister while Ginny becomes the WW M.O.M. and they will work together Harmoniously for the good of all.
