Del replies :
Ah, yes, second chances, I'd fogotten about them, thank you for
reminding me. They are important, second chances, precisely because
they allow for honest mistakes, without eternal condemnation.

" Why did Harry befriend Ron rather than Draco in SS/PS? Well, I
thought when reading it that the choice was pretty obvious. Ron was
nice to him. Draco reminded him of Dudley."

Del replies :
That shows the importance of environment. If Harry had first met a
nice Slytherin and an obnoxious Gryffindor, he might have chosen to go
to Slytherin. Lucky he met Draco and Ron. But as I said, luck is an
essential part of a hero's equipment.
