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
