Why Harry Practices Magic - Also...

[Scully931]

Forgot a point I wanted to make - 

I think that trying to show Harry loves magic so much that he will 
risk a bit of practice does not work. He knows the consequences. If 
he does magic at home, he gets thrown out of Hogwarts. (Since 
already receiving a warning for Dobby) Do you really think he would 
risk everything he loves to do a simple spell? 

Ok, that's all. (By the way, everything I write is a respectful 
disagreement. Don't want to come across as arguing. :-)
