The character I pity the most

Hmm, I guess I don't pity any of the dead.  To the dead, the past and 
suffering carries no weight.  I say this even in light of the ghosts, 
because to this point I don't feel that the ghosts have been shown to 
be much more than a shadow/parody of their living selves; they are 
interesting, amusing, active, but not...hmm, how do I put it?  They 
can't be traumatized.  It seems.  And they seem to be overall rather 
acclimated to the unliving state.  Not really pitiable.  And the non-
ghost dead even less so.  I guess, I feel they don't *need* pity, 
what with 
being dead and all....

At any rate.  I suppose that of the living I feel the most pity for 
Harry.  The past continues to weigh on him, he has recent traumas to 
deal with, and can only look forward to more danger, disruption, 
uncertainty, suffering. He's haunted, hunted, can't catch a break. 
Poor kid.
