My two cents, my headcanon for Harry's future existence revolves the original m,"conjure by it at your own peril." In reciting his full name. But to do so probably foolish unless it's in his shtick.. is he becomes something conjurable.

Now that is a theory worth exploring.
What if at the end of the BAT, Harry becomes a new mantle like an Archmagus that governs or at least regulates magic in the Mortal Realms?

That seems more like something the Archive would do; I think the magic-knowledge there (everything ever written down about magic) is probably the most comprehensive in the world; though it's very possible that an Immortal being (like Thorned Namshiel) may know a bunch of stuff that never got written down.
But Harry is too ignorant of magic: he's got more than a century of serious study before the senior wizards will take his knowledge-level seriously... and he doesn't have time to learn, before the BAT.

I wasn't thinking of it as a teaching role but more of police function or even a position similar to Mab's but covering magic. Harry would get a limited Intellectus to warn him of major magical threats and events and have the newly formed Wardens as enforcers and the Paranet as the administrative and education arms of his new council/court.

My take is a little different, one of the big lessons from Fool Moon is that names have power. Harry said he couldn't give any more of his names to Chauncy because that would give Chauncy power over him. In later books he is even careful as to how he pronounces his names because the proper inflection or lack there of can hand another being power over him. We saw how upset Uriel got when Harry tried to mess with his real name. However Uriel was okay with an all together different nickname that wasn't connected to his real name. So I think when Harry gives us his full name, he is then daring us after we know his full story to conjure with his name, if we can.
