Bart:
Occam's Razor is, "Do not unnecessarily multiply entities." Harry
Potter comes up with an ideal mix of friends. He is also being
shepherded along by a master manipulator. Now, either there was an
incredible coincidence that he came up with that particular set of
friends, or the manipulator arranged it. Now, of course, there is yet
another master manipulator, aka JKR, but I hope that she did not just to
decide to have an incredible coincidence.
