compassionate tend to forget is simply that _he's a teenage boy,_ and
 one from an emotionally-abusive background, to boot."

Problem is, Eric, there ain't no such thread !
I was not arguing that Harry is not compassionate, I was only saying
that he is no more compassionate than other kids, and that he didn't
save people out of compassion (as I've read many times on this forum).
I know I wasn't clear and I'm sorry for that but I'm getting a bit
frustrated about it. I mean, Harry shows compassion to a *snake* right
at the beginning of PS/SS ! If that isn't compassion, I don't know
what is.
