Book!Gilderoy Lockhart, focused on the events in Order of the Phoenix - Christmas on the Closet Ward
What happens to Gilderoy Lockhart after COS?
After obliviating his own memory, he became a permanent resident of St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, in the Janus Thickey Ward, for permanent spell damage.
In Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny saw Lockhart at St Mungo's in the Janus Thickey Ward. He had regained his memory to the extent that he could write in cursive ("with joined-up letters"), and still enjoyed signing autographs. Ron felt somewhat guilty since his malfunctioning wand was responsible for damaging Lockhart's memories, but Harry felt less sympathetic, for it was Lockhart's attempt to remove their memories in the first place that resulted in this backfire. Overall, Harry observed Lockhart had not changed much and voiced this opinion, making Ginny giggle.
It is known that Lockhart never got visitors, suggesting that his family was either deceased or did not care for him. However, Lockhart still received fan mail, though he had no idea why. He also kept his peacock-feather quill, though it had become somewhat battered by that time so that he could keep signing autographs.
Though he did retain some memories, the now much more childlike Lockhart never fully recovered. JKR said he was happier that way.
