Harry's disposition

Given the hell and loneliness Harry has had to endure,
if he were a
typical modern suburban teen, he would probably end up
in the Great
Hall with an AK-47 taking out his frustration on
anyone and everyone
who fell between his sights. 

But then that's just my opinion.

Mo:

I couldn't agree more!  Thank you for elaborating.

This is one of the reason's Lupin is my favorite
character.  He is one of the few people, in addition
to Molly, Sirius and DD, that give HP moral support.  

In the third book, this is the first time HP has had
continual contact with someone who understands him and
can offer him support.  Up until then, DD has only
given him support at the end of the year after HP has
suffered a traumatic event.  Lupin is someone who is
there giving HP advice and helping him cope with
difficulties and showing him defence mechanisms.  

If you remember in OoP, when the squad comes to get
him out of Privet Drive, HP gets excited when he hears
Lupin's voice. 

Lupin knows what it is like to be cut off from people
and not accepted.  He is grieving over the same people
HP grieves.  In that alone, there is a connection.

Sorry, I went on another Lupin tangent, but the more I
read about him and think about his role, the more I
like him.
