I don't know. That's why I'm here speculating on it and throwing in my two-cents. Because it's fun not to know and to think "what would I do/what should he do." It's most of the fun in fiction when a character doesn't do exactly what you think they should. Doesn't mean I can't still rage over it LOL.

The luck part of Harry was one thing I have a big problem with in the book. "He got lucky" doesn't make for a protagonist that I wanna spend my time on. That's why Neville and Ron were always my favorites lol

Of course you can rage over it, that's really not the point. The point is that he was a kid and expecting the same things of a child--abused and neglected, no less--is kind of ridiculous.

And that's perfectly fine that you don't want to, but you did in reading the books. Harry wasn't all luck, just lots of luck. You say he didn't take initiative, but he did. Consistently he was the one running off to save the school and its inhabitants from danger. Maybe he wasn't the best student, maybe he wasn't ever going to be the most powerful wizard. Maybe he was just a lucky kid who had a bit of bad luck in being marked by Voldemort, but still made the most of his life.
