Excuse me, but I think you left out the "lust" out of the list. In 
Hinduism, it is six sins : Kama(lust), krodh(anger), lobh(greed), moh
(attachment), madh(pride) and matsar(not sure, but i think it is a 
arrogance).

If Harry learns to overcome all that, he will God. sure. This is what 
the scriptures say in hinduism. if a man can overcome the six 
shortcomings, then he has attained God-hood. He is God.
