- Keep in mind that Harry is kind of a brat. Self-righteous, indignant. This is something especially prevalent in the last two books. He'll do things boldly without thinking, and it will be kind of dickish. Like the time in Deathly Hallows when he decides to say Voldemort's name anyway. Or a time in Half-Blood Prince, when he basically rudely calls Hermione a nag. Harry isn't all sunshine and daisies. He can be a bit of a prick at times.
- The above is NOT the same thing as being an emobrat. Harry hasn't been an emobrat since book five. He has moments in six and seven, but it's different and ... slightly more justified, in those circumstances.
- Harry ... generally is a brat, but he doesn't force people to do things against their will. He's pretty considerate in that aspect and has grown up a lot. I think he'd be pretty honest with people.
- Harry's witty and has a good sense of humor and isn't angry all the time, but he isn't happy all the time, either. He's sort of balanced, but tends to tilt to one side or the other. He's never zen. He has his good days and his bad days. But I'd never say he's OVERLY cheerful.
- As it comes to friends, Ron and Hermione come first. Then Ginny. Then everyone else. Obviously, there's a weird sequence there, but Harry is actually sort of an elitist when it comes to his friends. He doesn't get to know Seamus or Dean as well as he could, and that's fairly obvious in the books. He doesn't even know Neville that way--but in the same turn, he and Luna have that quiet understanding.
- Oh. In the last book, he's capable of using Unforgivables. Harry does have a sadistic streak to him. While the spells have some importance in the storyline, they're done with little pretense in the final book. I think this is for a reason. I think he probably could EASILY do them in HBP, after he realizes he and Voldemort will undoubtedly have to fight, because that's what it's become. But Harry did kill Voldemort with expelliarmus. He won't go to that first, ever. He has that darker streak, but he also has that side of him that isn't going to think "let's imperius them" before using some other means. Unless the situation calls for it (as it often does in Deathly Hallows).

However, if nothing bad is going on? I think he'll like that a lot.
If you're taking him POST-EPILOGUE post-canon, I think he would still be the same character, just more mature, with a healthy sense of humor and probably a better head on his shoulders. Harry has always been heading there, he's just gone through being a teenager and his own conflict to get there. He needs to be someone who would be the head of the Aurors, but I don't think he'd lose that sense of righteousness and would occasionally still want things to go his way (without thinking of others first). It wouldn't be a constant, but that's how it is. Even in the epilogue, we see that he has a grudging respect for Malfoy, but he sticks to his clique. Harry hasn't changed THAT much.
