Harry is a part of something that the other students (and staff
members too, for the most part) don't have to deal with. Someone is
always after Harry, whether it is Voldemort himself, Dementors, the
media, or annoying students. He is "Famous Harry Potter" and he
always will be. It is quite a cross to bear, especially for a kid
who wants nothing more than to fit in, have friends and a family of
his own. Even Harry knows he has a knack for attracting trouble -
it's out of his hands.
Me:
I second all of what Jenny said.
The curse that failed has changed Harry in ways that I think we're
only starting to see in the books. In an extraordinary place and
time, people, even those we think of as "kids," need to be
extraordinary. The past, present, and future of the WW, and probably
the Muggle world, depend on a kid with a funny scar on his head.
