Harry and Tom

This has been an extremely interesting discussion.  

But, it causes me to wonder not so much how Tom went
bad, but what is it about Harry that causes him to
have such a clearly defined sense of good?  He isn't
just conventionally decent in an average sort of way. 
He has that whole "saving people" thing that is
completely self-sacrificing.  Or, looking at it
through the eyes of Lucius Malfoy a "weakness for
heroics."  

Given that his childhood after the first 15 months was
just as lousy as Voldemort/Riddle's, it seems that
Harry has chosen the opposite extreme.  It's almost as
though he an Voldemort are mirror images.  Almost a
super-hero/super-villian dichotomy.  Could it have
something to do with the back-fired curse?  Is there a
more conventional muggleish psychological explanation
for Harry's "saving people thing"?  Being a newbie, I
pose these questions to the experts, some of whom
appear to be actual psychologists.
