OP here

[(Anonymous)]

I read the books starting when I was nine, and I fell in love with the world, and with the culture that came with it. I went to the midnight release of the 6th book, won free tickets to the fifth movie, got sorted on Pottermore, and just recently went to the park at Universal. (I was sick for the release of DH.)

But honestly it feels to me like everything Harry did he did because he was told to/forced to by someone else. It felt like he didn't make any decisions for himself and as such didn't feel like much of a character to me.

And if anyone cares, my top five characters are Sirius, Lupin, McGonagall, Luna, and Percy, in that order.

You might like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, OP. It's a fanfic by Less Wrong, and the main premise is that Petunia married a scientist and Harry grew up reading sci-fi and fantasy. It more or less replaces Harry (and a few other characters, largely Voldemort) with someone a helluva lot smarter and independent.

Also, it's currently longer than all the HP books put together. Might be worth a look-see.

I agree with you that one of the biggest faults with Harry is that he almost never makes a real choice for himself, and those choices he does make, he makes only in reaction to things happening to him and around him.

Probably one of the reasons why I still go read HP fanfic is that I like a good dose of fic where Harry actually does something for himself, as opposed to his sheeple act in canon.
