Del replies :
I disagree. Pretty much *anytime* in the potterverse the word
"ambition" is mentioned, it is in a negative way. I can't think of one
single person who's been described as ambitious and wasn't condemned
for it.<

Why did you snip the part that I used to show that Harry has ambition, the 
sorting Hat says it, " and a nice thirst to prove yourself," Page 90, 
Philosopher's Stone UK version. Paperback. I have said that Percy is ambitious, but it 
is the way he is going about his ambition, which is a choice he made, that I 
think is wrong.
