I quite agree with Harriet that Harry is great - not just lucky. He 
has had countless opportunities to act selfishly and given his 
abusive childhood - would have had every reason to do so. He always 
acts with others in mind, even if it would have been easier not to. 
In the 3rd triwizard task he cared more for the safety of his fellow 
competitors and in the 2nd - their hostages safety than he did about 
winning.
Harry was also the only student able to show some resistance to the 
Imperius curse - and that involved great presence of mind - most 
adult wizards could not do that.
