If we are following a true heroic pattern here you are absolutely 
right; Harry has to be tempted by evil of some sort.  My vote is that 
he is tempted by another student, not an adult.  Who better to fall 
into that roll than Harry's arch rival, Draco Malfoy?  Draco tried to 
entice HP into his circle as soon as they got to school their first 
year. Does anyone remember if he's done it since? Draco hasn't served 
the plot in any MAJOR way outside of comic relief and getting the 
trio in trouble, unless you count Harry believing that Draco is the 
heir of Slytherin.   Somewhere in these next two books he's going to 
become a major player, instead of a major pain in the butt.  His 
father is in jail.  Now would be the time for him to step up.  We've 
seen the trio and their friends fighting the bad guy grownups all 
along.  When do the DE kids get involved?

vmonte responds:
Harry was tempted in the SS/PS. Remember when Voldemort told him he 
could have whatever he wanted (for example his parents) in exchange 
for the stone. (Not sure how much is movie contamination.)
