Yes - I completely agree with you, and I didn't mean self-reliance as independence, if 
you know what I mean; I was just thinking about all the times Harry doubts himself 
(claiming that he has no talents, for one thing, in GoF before fake Moody advices him 
to use his broom) and I think that, without cutting his friends off or anything, it could 
do Harry some good to trust his abilities. That was all - sorry if I was a little unclear 
there, English is only my second language after all, maybe I misinterpreted the word 
"self-reliance" or something.
