I agree here, and thought some of the responses were a bit
much.

In some ways, I think I understand what Josie was talking
about.

While I like Harry very much, I sometimes wonder about
Harry's lack of curiosity and lack of drive when it comes to
learning more to protect himself.

Honestly, if I were threatened by a dark wizard, I'd make
sure to pay as much attention as possible to my lessons, and
not rely on Hermione's knowledge so much.
She seems more prepared than he is, in many ways, at least
in theory. Under pressure, it's a different story.

Harry obviously has the talent, whether it's all his own or
transferred from LV...
