Yeah, this is suppose to be Harry's week.  I've noticed that there's 
more Snape related posts ...  Let's get back to Harry.

There are a few things in his character:
1. Procrastination
We see that quite prominently in GoF.  Harry, like all teenagers (and 
adults for that matter), does procrastinate.  It may end up hurting 
him, academically or otherwise.  He does have the attitude of 'I will 
find out when I need to know' when it comes to magical knowledge and  
relies on Hermione over the years.
2. Insecure
Harry has a low sense of self-esteem (But not as bad as Ron).  He 
always thinks he's going to fail, he *knows* he's going to suck.  A 
pessimist by nature.
That's all I can think of for the moment.
