Thank you for the above statement.  It ties in exactly with I have 
been saying for some time.  What Harry inherited from his parents 
remains somewhat of a mystery-Harry is reminded almost constantly 
about his resemblance to his father, so we know, at least some 
physical attributes  such as unruly jet black hair have been 
inherited.  Lily's green eyes-another inheritance which I believe 
will prove useful at some point.  The point you made which I wish to 
second is this:  whatever Harry's inheritance, it will definitely be 
his choice how these skills are used.  His quidditch skills have 
already proven useful in his battle against the dragon.  They may 
also prove useful at a later time.  Until we know more about his 
parents, any comparison would be somewhat stiffled.  We know James 
was good at quidditch and was considered to be clever.  We know he 
was a loyal friend.  We know so little about Lily (why, of course, is 
the magic question).  I for one am ready to understand Harry better 
and I think knowing more about his parents will help.
