5.  "Doing what is right over what is easy".  Choice is more 
important than blood.  Some families like the Weasleys follow what 
most of us would think is the right way so being in that family 
would make doing what is right easier.  Being a member of the Black 
family would predispose one to being like them, so here when one 
follows the right path it will be harder because it mean turning 
against the blood ties. In the WW world as in the RW families want 
their memebers to share the same values, experiences, etc.


Alla:

Is choice more important than blood though? If choice simply "shows" 
who you really are, doesn't it mean that by your choices you simply 
show the people around you what kind of person you are. I am not 
sure that in JKR's world it means that you go against 
your "predisposition" whatever it means.

You said it yourself - being in Weasley family will make doing what 
is right easier because Weasleys are on the RIGHT side ( here I am 
back again to the perfect Light and Dark),as JKR sees it and being 
in Malfoy family will make doing what right much harder.

Sirius did choose to break away from his family for said fact I 
respect him greatly, but if our choices "show what we are", doesn't 
it mean that in his heart he already was on the side of Light  and 
his choice just exposed it to the world?

I think I got myself confused again - I don't want to think that in 
JKR's world people are what they had been born with, but it seems to 
me that it could be a possibility. ( Somebody talk me out of it, 
please)


JMO,
