I've always felt a little like that also, jester. If he did return, I don't feel like it would have been as Headmaster or DADA Professor, and only slightly as Potion's Professor.
Even if he made a full recovery, no lingering healing or un-healable after effects, I just don't see him being the whole, healthy and unchanged Professor who's passing I've come to regret(at least in the JKR's world, in mine he lives on!).
Honestly, I've always believed, even if he regained his physical health, he would struggle with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and with his place in the Wizarding world. (He would snark me to death, but, I would suggest many counseling sessions.)
I’ve always wanted to read a story where, if he does return to Hogwart’s, its as the Librarian, taking over for Madam Prince. Out of the Dundgeon, no longer Head of Slytherin, but with another Domain to lord over, there for his Slytherin’s if they need him, able to experiment with Potion’s when he wants, even so far as to help out with DADA or Potion’s with lectures, and being the third most powerful after Head Master/Mistress and Deputy Head Master/Mistress, but still with his domain to return to. And I would love to read about all the snarks he could make about a female counterpoint trying to get into his ‘Restricted Section’, (grin).
I would love to see him healthy, content, with a companion or partner, but, I can’t see it being easy to reach that point after all he’s gone through over the years.
