User blog:SpaceProtagonist/Pure Good Removal: Harry Potter

What's The Work?
Harry Potter is the main protagonist of... well- Harry Potter. He's appeared in all seven books and eight movie adaptations.

Who Is He?
Is he a villain? No. But... is he Pure of Heart? No way. I think we all know the story: Voldemort killed his parents, and Dumbledore brought him over to the Dursleys, the Dursleys made Harry's life a living hell, and Harry eventually discovered his parents were wizards, and went to Hogwarts.

Goodness Zone/ Corrupting factors
He's committed some ambiguous, not-so-morally right things, like casting the torturing Cruciatus curse on enemies, as well as controlling some characters with the Imperio curse, and yet he's quick to accuse the Slytherins of being evil jerks when he's no better. He's also very decided and the idea of killing enemies in revenge doesn't seem to bother him much. That's an automatic disqualification for Pure Good. Sorry, Harry Potter.

Verdict
I'd say, Harry Potter isn't pure of heart. This is natural considering the novels and films got darker with each installment. Also if he was pure of heart, the killing Curse wouldn't have worked for him.
