I was going to pull myself out of this argument but for the sake of 
making my perspective clear, I will post one more time and then 
return quietly to lurking.  

My opinion of Harry has never been that he is perfect.  No one is.  I 
only feel that the perspective that he is inately evil is off the 
mark.  He used an unforgivable curse, bad choice, not a bad person.  
He also saved the life of Peter Pettigrew when he could have allowed 
him to be murdered.  It would have been SO easy for a cold person to 
allow that to happen, who would Harry have seen as more deserving of 
the death penalty?  It seems to me then that as it would be biased 
and one sided to see Harry as perfect in every way, it is equally as 
one sided to see him as evil.  He is HUMAN and he is YOUNG.

I will say no more :).

end of book 7)
