Finwitch:

Harry's good decisions: He stood up for Neville when Malfoy took the 
remembrall. Against the rules (disobeying a teacher who forbade them 
to move), perhaps, but a GOOD one.

Harry was the one who decided to stay and help Neville out of that 
trap stair.

And it was Harry who noticed that Hermione was not at the Hall, and 
thus did not know about the Troll.

And his decision to share the Cup, as well as to give away his 
winnings...

AND he bravely told the truth Dolores Umbridge didn't want to hear, 
even when all the adults seemed to be against him...

But, if you want the one person who ALWAYS chooses the good and the 
right - it's Neville, not Harry.

And Snape - with his DE-past, is a traitor. (And Dante put traitors 
to the lowest hell, so...)It is qustionable who he's betraying, but 
he IS betraying someone. Sirius then - dog is the very symbol of 
loyalty! So a loyal dog can merely tolerate a traitor(Peter, Snape), 
at the command of the master... (Harry, Dumbledore) and wolves have 
that same trait.
