Sorting Hat as Temptress?

Anyone think it's possible that the sorting hat and its reminders 
that Harry would do well in Slytherin could play the role as 
temptress? If not the hat, Slytherin house itself?

After finishing up OoP again last night, I had the feeling that 
Harry was going to pull away from everything he is or knows. Like 
Superman when he gave up his powers to be normal... also the plot of 
Spiderman 2. Maybe Harry is seduced by the Hat and Slytherin as a 
way to make things easier, to get out of being Harry.

Harry is tired of being Harry. I think he'll have to go through 
something like that before he comes out on the other side ready to 
take care of business. Superman and Spiderman both come out on the 
other side of their selfishness to save the day and Harry probably 
will also.

If Harry switched to S we'd finally get rid of the 2 dimensional 
slytherin characters and probably get a ton of back story and 
insight that we're missing as of yet.

I think the death or near death of someone extremely close is going 
to be the reason to accept being SuperHero!Harry
