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.
