Carol, 

who is pretty sure that an upbringing like Hermione's would 
not have served Harry as well as sleeping in that closet.
 

Phoenixgod:
Being raised in a loving and secure home is always better than the 
alternative. Is Harry strong because of his upbringing? Yeah, he is. 
Would he have been just as strong being raised by a better family?
 
You betcha

phoenixgod2000, for whom this arguement has made appreciate his 
parents all the more.


Alla:

Phoenixgod, I am in absolute agreement with your post, therefore I 
snipped it. :o) Actually, I am mainly replying because of Carol's 
remark, which I confess to misunderstand somehow when I read her post 
initially.
Yes, just as you do, I think that being raised in "loving" family can 
make you stronger, not weaker.

I would say that Hermione manages to hold her own in Trio's 
adventures pretty well for the most part. I mean they all screw up 
one time or another, but Hermione seems to be pretty tough to me.

I think that upbringing like Hermione's would have done lots of good 
to Harry, although we don't know much about her upbringing, of 
course, we can guess that her parents love her, taught her to like 
books ( a lot :o)), etc. 

Just my opinion,
