Jack-A-Roe:
The only problem I have with the theory that he worked at a desk full 
time is that the ministry wouldn't let him do it. 

He's got a reputation that is bigger than anything else. The ministry 
is going to want to show that he's out in the field keeping the 
magical world safe. His reputation alone will stop a number of bad 
guys. It's the "oh shit" he killed Voldemort by himself. The actual 
facts will be lost. 

"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend" 

He will also have a bunch of wizards gunning for him. Kind of like an 
old gunslinger. Everyone wants to make their reputation by killing 
him. Staying at a desk will not prevent this from happening. 

Anyone who defeats him will still have to find the Elder wand. Only 
Ron & Hermione know what he's going to do with it. So I think it's 
rather safe even if he is out catching the bad guys.
