Who thinks Harry is going to be evil as well? Almost everything that happens
to him is because of his own disobedience. SS-he broke rules and went to a
duel. CoS- he kidnapped a teacher and forced him into the chamber. PoA- he
attacked another teacher and his aunt. Let's the man who murdered his parents
go. GoF-cheated. OoP-He became the serpent, wanted to kill, disregarded orders
from Dumbledore, gets Sirius Black killed, etc. HBP-he knowingly cheats,
deceives-whatever-forces Dumbledore to drink the water, etc. Through all of
this he threatens the Dursleys, sets a snake on his cousin, speaks parcel
tongue. What if the next book-Harry becomes another Dark Lord? Also interesting
is the fact that in the GOF-every prediction Harry makes comes true-Harry has
always been afraid he would fit in better at Slytherin. Dumbledore tells him
the only difference between he and Tom Riddle are the choices they made.
Harry's choices don't always seem to be the best.
Again-living proof opinion does not equal intelligence- please enlighten me.
