You underestimate my propensity for violence, betrayal, mayhem and 
murder.

Moral? The only moral is don't turn your back to a friend. Well, maybe
that's a slight exaggeration. No, Harry is not (or at least not willingly)
ready to become the saviour of the WW. I fully expect that in the coming
book he will make concerted efforts to deny the future that  DD has 
mapped out for him. He wants nothing to do with it  and will try to opt 
out. His parents dead, Sirius dead - not exactly encouraging examples
for an impressionable young lad. 
A most reluctant hero.

This will cause no end of trouble, ending in unfortunate deaths (how
nice!) for which Harry may be presumed to bear some moral blame.
("If you'd done your duty it wouldn't have happened!") Weapon!Harry
becomes Stroppy!Harry becomes Repentant!Harry before strapping on
his wand for the final showdown in book 7.

Marry Hermione? Don't be silly - he'd rather face Voldy.
Who the hell would want to marry Hermione? Dentists daughters learn
how to inflict pain at a very young age and Hermione has learned well.

I can hear her now - "It's for your own good!"
