Harry is an interesting contrast to Tim Hunter in _The Books of 
Magic_.  Tim has seen a parallel universe's future where he does go 
Dark, and keeps doing everything he can to try to avoid it - but he 
keeps feeling forced into decisions that parallel the ones knows his 
pre-dark self made in that alternative universe, and keeps fearing 
even more so that his way will grow inevitably Dark despite his 
efforts to avoid that.
