Bart:
Looking for commonalities, in every case, it is something that endangers Harry's life, but always indirectly. He risks his life protecting the Philosopher's Stone, stopping the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, he is endangered by the events brought into play by Sirius' escape, he is led into the trap by the Goblet of Fire, the battle at the Ministry is due to his involvement (and desire for more) in the Order of the Phoenix, and The Half-Blood Prince is involved in the danger in the last scene (alternatively, his new and unearned expertise in Potions blocks his willingness to put his efforts into harder subjects, like DADA).
