Yet, it still frightens me that men might be that much more profoundly alarming than even we girls imagined, and that we girls are not the only angst uncertain ones out there in the universe. The violent form this angst is taking is even more disturbing - the thought that that pretty boy I-banker that sits next to us on the train may be harboring thoughts of man-anguish chaos certainly disturbs me.

Every event in the Potter books follows seamlessly from his initial self-discovery. Harry may be a skinny kid with glasses, green eyes and an unruly shock of black hair, but he also harbors uncertain potentialities. Did he thwart Voldemort's assault because of innate goodness or because he carries, even as an infant, a strain of evil more powerful than that of the Dark Wizard's?
