Background and History
Harry's parents were killed by Voldemort in Godric's Hollow. A village monument commemorates the Potter family and depicts Harry as a baby with his parents 307. By the time Harry is due to enter Hogwarts, he is widely known as the Boy Who Lived 1.
Harry starts Hogwarts in the same year as Andy Collins and becomes close friends with Ron Weasley 1 79. Without Hermione Granger in Gryffindor, Andy considers the Harry–Ron pair poorly prepared for the dangers around them 117. Harry nevertheless finishes his first year among the school's top ten students 122.
Personality
Andy describes Harry as courageous, sincere, and strongly motivated by justice. He also considers Harry impulsive, quick-tempered, and easily swayed by emotion—traits Andy believes can give him unusual strength when casting magic 79 84 202.
Harry's determination becomes particularly evident in his pursuit of Peter Pettigrew. After seeing news of Peter's escape from Azkaban, he vows to find and kill him 448. Later, evidence of Snape's and Lucius Malfoy's alibis forces Harry to reconsider his suspicions about their involvement 472 473.
Abilities and Skills
Emotion-Driven Spellcasting
- Andy ranks Harry's magical talent among the top five students in their year, though he does not consider it exceptional compared with older students 84.
- Andy believes Harry's intense emotions can substantially strengthen his spells under the right circumstances. This is Andy's assessment, not a measured power progression 84 202.
Vigilance
- When Andy and Hermione approach him about a mission for Dumbledore, Harry questions whether they might be impersonators. Andy then tests his reflexes and alertness 679.
Relationships
- Ron Weasley — Harry's close friend and frequent companion at Hogwarts 79 398.
- Sirius Black — A friend of Harry's father who investigates Peter Pettigrew and agrees to train Harry for the dangers ahead 472 473.
- Remus Lupin — Harry seeks his help and becomes determined to improve his defensive skills under Lupin's guidance 453 458.

Story Role and Major Arcs
- Preparation for conflict — Sirius tells Harry that Dumbledore wants him trained to defend himself against Voldemort and the Death Eaters 473.
- Azkaban attack — Pain in Harry's scar accompanies a vision of Voldemort and Death Eaters attacking Azkaban. Andy and Dumbledore infer that Harry may have seen the events through a living Horcrux, possibly a snake 536.
- Voldemort's interest — Dumbledore suspects that a fragment of Voldemort's soul sought to uncover a secret about Harry during the Diadem incident, rather than restore itself 467.
