However I do believe Harry will return to Hogwarts, he just won't return to
school. We will see Hogwarts as we have never seen it before, largely
deserted with just Hagrid Dobby and the ghosts still there. In fact I
wouldn't be surprised if the last battle Harry has with the Dark Lord takes
place in the deserted spooky corroders of Hogwarts. And after that Harry
will have his Next Great Adventure.

Sherry:

I actually think it would be kind of silly for Harry to return to Hogwarts
to attend school in the last book.  He can't very well chase down horcruxes
if he's diligently studying for his NEWTS!  It would almost seem
irresponsible, because he has to vanquish Riddle by the end of the book.
So, he's going to have to be outside the protective walls of Hogwarts.  I do
believe, however, that he will go there occasionally, to ask questions, to
consult portraits, to check in the library or something.  I don't think
we've seen the last of Hogwarts, but I expect we've seen the last of Harry
as a student there.
