Emotions and Danger

Harry has always been independent; he had to be when he lived with the Dursleys. Unfortunately, his emotions have a habit of clouding his judgement.

His fury towards Snape (not just in the sixth book, but also in all of the preceding) often brought Harry into making rash decisions (such as the minor mistake of shouting the Protego spell against Snape during nonverbal spell lessons- he was so convinced that Snape was going to do him in that he screwed up and got detention) just like Harry's love for Sirius did. Although he does demonstrate blatant heroism, Harry also forgets to think. He has thus far been successful, but I think that when he lets his anger, sadness, frustration, and adoration take over without thinking things over first, he puts himself, but more importantly, others (because they are less competent wizards than Harry, so to speak), in more danger than necessary.

...But then again, not-so-great judgement also provides for awesome reading :).
