Carol has already address whether Harry will go back to
school or not but I will expand on what she said. 

You are making that same mistake that many people have
made, thinking in absolutes. The question isn't, and 
has never been, whether Harry will go back to Hogwarts,
but whether Harry will go back to Hogwarts as a student.

Likely he won't go back as a student; he won't be 
enrolled. But that is no reason to think that Harry
will never set foot in Hogwarts again.Even if Harry
is not a student, it is unrealistic to think that
he won't be back to Hogwarts several times in the
course of the school year. 

Carol listed many reasons why Harry would return to 
the school. Other reasons might be to continue with
the DA Club, both as a means of training other 
students and as a way of training himself. Note:
I'm determined to revised the DA Club even if no
one else is. Harry may come to the school for 
special training that is unrelated to normal 
school classes. Harry may come specifically to 
talk to Dumbledore's portrait or to Slughorn or to
McGonagall or to speak specifically with his 
friend Hagrid. There is always a chance he will
revisit the Chamber of Secrets. He many need to 
venture into the dark forest to talk with the
Centaurs. He may try to bring the Acromantula
Spider over to his side. He may visit Grawp again.
He may have to break in to Hogwarts and recapture 
if from Voldemort. 

Harry, absolutely beyond any shadow of a doubt, will
return to Hogwarts Castle. The fact that Harry might
not come to Hogwarts as a student doesn't in anyway 
imply that he will not be back at Hogwarts as a 
visitor. 

A minor point, but one worth clearing up.
