You sure it was a few "hours" after you've switched the engine off? Or a few "minutes"?

its normal

the idea is to keep the engine bay cool, this help prolong the battery life and other items under there that suffer from heat related stress

yeah.. it's normal.. though i haven't heard of it still going for an hour after the engine's been off.

Ocasionaly, coming back from a long drive, i pull into the garage and turn the car off, the fan will kick in, a couple of mins later.

It's basically due to the fact that the engine was hot, and the airflow was cooling things down. Then when you turn off the car, the heat rises (no airflow), hence the fan coming on.

Just cause you take the key out, doesn't mean that everything is off. There's still power going to the electronics, etc..
