Amontillada:

That's what I expect, too. Besides searching for Horcrux(es), I can
think of at least two reasons Harry might need to go there:

1. To search for whatever knowledge/ideas/information Dumbledore may
have left;
2. To find valuable information in the library--after all, Hogwarts is
probably one of the two or three MOST important libraries or archives
of wizarding in Great Britain.

Amontillada:

I'm not quite as sure about that. The last chapter may show Harry
returning to Hogwarts as a student, for his delayed 7th year and to
pursue more knowledge about wizarding studies. (Since finally
defeating Voldemort, he's learned that "he knows all he needs to
know," but that there is a great deal about wizarding which he can now
more fully appreciate.

Of course, that's speculation. Maybe the last chapter will show Harry
returning to Hogwarts to speak to the advanced Defense Against the
Dark Arts classes, and he reflects that he was hardly a stereotypical
hero....

Like Carol, I want to see Headmistress McGonagall, and Ginny as the
liaison between Harry and Hogwarts. I think that would be the natural
part for her to play, since she's specifically younger than Harry,
Ron, and Hermione.

Amontillada, feeling speculative...
