Even if Hooper does a better job with HBP, I'd still want Williams back for the end. Williams wants to come back and I'm sure the studio would love to have him for the right price. If I were Yates, I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to work with John Williams.

I'd prefer Williams scoring a nice arty film.

That's probably the most surprising thing I've ever read on this board.

I think it would be an amazing statement by Williams to return for Deathly Hallows, just saying to the fans: "No, I haven't forgotten about Harry Potter and I haven't given up on big budget fantasy films just yet. I think I have a few more epic scores left before I really retire." I can see how John Williams would be a huge benefit to the final scenes of Deathly Hallows. (We KNOW he will write something amazing for the battle of Hogwarts and the final duels)

As for the split into two films, it's good from the perspective that the story will be able to be told in full, and less will have to be eliminated, however from a scoring perspective I think it might make it less likely for Williams to do two films in one go. (And let's face it, there has to be one composer for the pair - they are two parts to one movie.) And what would they call the films? All I can think of is some hilariously confusing names.

I just hope that John Williams won't hang up the baton for a little while yet, and that we can hear a magic blockbuster score once more from him.

A film doesn't have to be a blockbuster to have magic. Besides, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is on its way.
