Yes, but let me explain. In real life I would prefer a flawless hero,
but in literature I just want an interesting hero. Everybody has a
dark side, but we haven't seen Harry's yet; and no, getting a little
grumpy at your friends a few times doesn't count. Even Attalla The Hun
was once a very nice cute little boy, but things change, and I find
that interesting. I like to think of myself as a good person but if I
had gone through half of what Harry had my brain would be fried and I
could give Hannibal Lecter a run for his money in pure viciousness.
I'm not proud of that but it's a fact. And I find that interesting too.
