[HPFGU-Movie] Harry vs. Snape

Mileage clearly varies. To me, Harry as an
'abused-but-not-taking-it-lying-down' kid in the first couple of chapters
of PS/SS set up his objection to Snape's unjust treatment in the Potions
lesson.

Harry may be beset by private self-doubt, but his predominant
characteristic is courage. That's why he's a Gryffindor.
