Background

Harry became famous throughout the Wizarding World after surviving Voldemort as a baby, but he lost both parents on the same night. Many wizards celebrate him as a hero, while Wade recognizes that the fame came at the cost of Harry's family. 6

He was raised by the Dursleys, who neglected him and locked away his belongings during the summer. His early treatment left him thin, poorly dressed, and uncomfortable with public attention. 3 114

Before starting Hogwarts, Harry meets the Grey family at the Leaky Cauldron and later seeks their help finding Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. Ferdinand Grey directs him through the barrier to the Hogwarts Express. 3 4

At Hogwarts, Harry joins Gryffindor and initially struggles to match the academic progress of Wade and Hermione. Hermione successfully petitions for him to enter SSC, where Wade teaches him essay-writing, practical combat, and advanced defensive spells. 68 79

Appearance

Harry is a black-haired boy with a distinctive scar on his forehead, which he habitually tries to cover. When first seen by the Greys, he appears malnourished and wears ill-fitting clothing. 3 4

• Black hair 361
• Forehead scar 3 4
• Initially thin and poorly clothed due to neglect at the Dursleys' home 3

Personality

Harry is humble and uneasy about the fame attached to his survival. Rather than seeking admiration, he is embarrassed by attention and does not consider himself exceptional beside more academically advanced friends. 3 68 1016

He is compassionate even toward people who have treated him badly, such as Draco Malfoy, whose isolation he recognizes after seeing him humiliated. 76 Harry is also receptive to help: joining SSC allows him to confront his academic weaknesses and discover his aptitude for practical magic. 79 80

His courage can become recklessness. He enters the Black Lake in winter to investigate the Golden Egg's clue despite safer alternatives, but he continues to learn from his mistakes and becomes increasingly resourceful in dangerous situations. 626
