Hmmm.  We need to put out a call for an independent and serious 
L.O.O.N. to analyze this in detail.  Maybe in the brief period in GoF 
when Ron and Harry aren't speaking, Harry mostly does what Hermione 
wants to do.  Examples are practicing charms, going to walk around 
the lake.  But then again, they do go to Hogsmead using the 
invisibility cloak at Harry's insistence, and Harry refuses to skip 
the meeting with Hagrid in favor of his meeting with Sirius.

But I'm not sure that when the trio is together (or when Ron and 
Harry are alone) that they do what Harry wants to do.  It seems quite 
clear that they don't do what Hermione wants to do.  It can be argued 
that they do what *Ron* wants to do.  The best example is early in 
GoF when Ron suggests playing Quiddich and Hermione says Harry 
doesn't want to.  It was Ron's idea, and Harry went along.  When they 
decide to make up their Divination homework in GoF, it is Ron's idea 
and Harry went along.  

This is by no means a comprehensive list.  That's why I need some 
major L.O.O.N. assistance to flesh out this list.  

Cindy (realizing that begging for L.O.O.N. assistance is proof 
positive that she is not a L.O.O.N.)
