You're right... very Star Wars. Hadn't thought of that! But then JKR 
does take a lot of her influences from other great sagas... plenty of 
parallels with Lord of the Rings etc... and I agree- enough of the 
stroppy teenager! But a dark Harry might not necesssarily be moping 
around, but causing chaos instead? 

Oh well. It's nice to theorise!
