But it doesn't seem to me that Harry considers things much. He reminds
me very much of Percy at times. As long as Percy was at Hogwarts, he
followed the local leader, DD. When he left, he naturally shifted his
loyalty to his new bosses. As long as Harry is at Hogwarts, he follows
DD, but that doesn't mean he's actually thought about it. It looks
more like an automatic decision to me, not a conscious one. And when
he *does* have to make a conscious decision, like trusting and obeying
Snape, he fails. So I'm not at all sure that Harry is on the side of
Good because he truly wants it. I don't feel he has truly chosen yet.
The only thing he's sure of, is that he hates LV, and that is not a
moral decision IMO.
