Your right everything seems to happen to Harry-good and most 
certainly bad.  IMO, Harry has paid a high price for his riches and 
glory.  How many other children have had to go one-on-one with 
Voldemort?  Now, of course , it can be argued that at times 
Harry "goes looking" for trouble-however, you have to admit that in 
book 4, trouble singled him out.  The fact that Harry was "set up" to 
participate in the Tournament-through no fault of his own, IMO, 
clearly shows his reluctance to draw so much unwanted attention to 
himself.  Ron's failure to overcome his jealosy and see the real 
danger that Harry is in-is typical behavior for a child.  We do have 
to remember that these are children.  We have all seen instances in 
the real world where children are thrust into adult situations and 
forced to make grownup decisions.  IMO, I think Harry has shown good 
judgement for one so young-for the most part.  And as for getting 
what he wants, he still has not achieved the thing most important to 
him- a family-life away from the Dursleys.  Remember, how his hopes 
were dashed when he could not live with Sirius.  IMO, as long as he 
continues to live with the Dursleys, he is more than paying for any 
fame and fortune he has gained in the WW.
