the Auror Training Camp in fanon It isn't fanon. In chapter 29 of OotP, "Careers Advice" McGonagall tells Harry that he has to get at least 5 NEWTS with good marks, undertake a number of tests and then study/train an additional three years to become and auror.
I could see Harry getting accepted into auror training directly after DH because he's, well, Harry Potter. (Ron getting accepted without NEWTS is harder to believe.) Though I'm not sure Rowling ever said that the Trio didn't go back to Hogwarts for their seventh year, as far as I can remember she stumbled on/glossed over that subject. It's probably best to take anything she says in situations when she can't double-check her answers with a grain of salt.
