Lynn:

Well, when talking about rule-breaking, I think
mistakes or wrong choices is really more
applicable.  

For me, faults or imperfections refer more to a
person's character just as their virtues would. 
An example of a fault I think Harry has is
putting to much emphasis on pride (ducks the
flaming arrows).  While it can serve him well at
times (the Patronus comes to mind), it has also
led him to do things he really shouldn't have
done - such as the midnight duel - and is a
weakness that Malfoy frequently exploits.  Malfoy
tries it again when he tells Harry that if it
were him, Malfoy would go after Black trying to
get Harry to do exactly that.  However, faults
can be corrected and I Harry does work on this as
Voldemort's button-pushing would be much worse
than Malfoy's.

I also think that Malfoy can be obnoxious enough
without having to resort to rule-breaking - and I
won't get started on what I think his faults are.
 LOL
