Sorry for picking up on a specific point, but do they really grow up 'much faster' in the wizarding world? 17 instead of 18 isn't much of a difference, and the age of majority is so generic as to be meaningless anyway.

I think expecting an abused kid being offered a decent life for the first time to grow up instantly and reject all that's enjoyable in that new life is a bit unreasonable. As Churchill is supposed to have said, if cut funding to the arts to fund a war, what are we fighting for? What meaning would Harry find in working to save his life if that life had no joy in it? Soldiers don't stop caring about football. They even played a game in No Man's Land during the first world war.

Besides, Harry has a deal-with-it-when-it-comes personality; he seldom prepares unless promoted by others, and he likes to put off unpleasant tasks as long as possible. It's his nature. Not everybody is like Hermione.

People seem to think I think Harry shouldn't have any fun LOL. I really don't. If he was all workworkwork he would be boring. I just think he didn't focus as much as he should had. It's not in his nature and he likes to put off unpleasant things but I'm just saying that this is one of those unpleasant things that you really shouldn't put off LOL. This isn't just homework you don't wanna do. It's your life haha

And we're countering with "he's a kid", "he's an abused child", "this is how he copes with shit". Serious things like this shouldn't be put off, but that doesn't mean people don't put them off.

Oh, I know. Hence my rage LOL. I really enjoyed the HP books, mostly because the characters make me rage so much.
