And of course, Harry isn't a MAN... he's a boy :-)  The whole 
argument of the article writer seems a bit specious.  Are the kids 
in "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series 'patsies' because they end 
up running away from the villian/stacked deck?  Of course not.  

As with Harry, just surviving the horriffic circumstances is a major  
acheivement.  Learning how to take what life gives you (good and bad) 
and make the best of it is a major part of childhood.
