I completely agree with the Choices being a central theme.  I have
always felt that this is one of Harry's strongest attributes.  When
it comes down to what is right v. what is easy, he always makes the
correct choice.  Plus, his choice is personal to him alone.  This is
where the argument that he is not that great of a wizard because he
always needs the help of others falls apart.  He might need help to
attain an objective, but he has selected the correct objective to
focus on.
