As much as I’d love to see Harry settling down to do some teaching, I’m not sure how much he’d actually enjoy it (at least in the long run). He didn’t exactly choose to teach the DA, rather, people chose HIM, as per usual, and though the same could be said for his role of fighting death eaters, I feel like he chose more in being an auror; he knew aurors who played an impactful role in his life and, under the guidance of professor McGonagall, chose the same role based on his personal strengths and interests.

He may have been a good teacher, but he never chose it. He may also not have been as bad as Ron in regards to sitting down and studying, but it still isn’t quite something he’d seek to do for the rest of his life (even the more active teaching jobs at Hogwarts requires paperwork, grading, and study). He’s a learner by experience and action, and has always enjoyed physical feats such as quidditch more than playing a part in the academic world Hermione loves.

I can see him becoming a teacher later in life, wanting to finally get some rest from fighting, but I don’t think teaching would be his first choice of profession.

I do absolutely adore the idea of him following Remus’ footsteps in being DADA teacher, though, it’s honestly a really cool concept and Harry would totally take after Remus in many parts of his teaching styles.
