Harry is a boy! The whole purpose of childhood is to learn how to 
make the correct choices. Of course he is going to make mistakes, 
you do not learn if you don't make mistakes.

But Harry is not dumb, he has a clear goal and it is not being 
accepted in the WW. His goal is to defeat LV, and avenge his parents 
death.
