Very interesting analysis. It makes me wonder if there's a connection here between your analysis and Sirius' escape from Azkaban. Sirius escapes because he isn't dwelling on happy thoughts. He could escape because he was innocent and was obsessed with getting to Peter Pettigrew. The dementors had not happiness to suck out of him.

With Harry here, he has little hope of every getting away from the Dursely's so when bad things happen to him in a good world he could care less.

However, I still hold true to my first opinion on the subject (http://alohomora.mugglenet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=65), but I am intrigued at the connection between Sirius' escape and Harry's hopelessness.

I prefer to take a difference stance on this issue. I'd think that in the reald, world someone neglected and abused at home to the extent Harry was, especially with no friends outside it (with Dudley's gang chasing everyone away) for most of the first 11 years of his life would end up a complete traincrash of a human being, almost without a doubt. Personally, I like to invoke the magical world, and think that the protection of Lily's sacrifice acted as a kind of residual loving carer - in a sense, she brought Harry up even though nobody realised. That's just my take anyway.

Author's Response: In the first edit of this essay. I had a paragraph relating to Lily's sacrifice protecting Harry when he was with the Dursleys. It is an extremely valid point, and I agree totally. I do believe you can justify Lily being responsible for keeping Harry's ability to love and give love in tact.

There is so much to consider here. First, Harry knew no other life. He did see Petunia and Vernon's treatment of Dudley, but the result is hardly a well adjusted kid. There is real precedent of someone in a terrible situation who does not emerge with issues. Jaycee Dugard is a woman who was kidnapped at about age 11 and held captive for 18 years. She ended up being surprisingly gentle and loving. Finally, Harry's escape from the Dursley's was something so wondrous - into the magical world - that it was an escape that even he did not dream up. Could it be that finding he really belonged in such an extraordinary place was a healing sort of magic for Harry?

Jo once alluded to the fact that Harry enjoyed 15 months of being so deeply loved by his parents that it must have made the difference. Voldemort had zero mother love. Dumbledore says it too. Also I believe that being mistreated by his relatives is different than being mistreated by your own parents. One can always feel that had his parents not died, things would've been better. His mistreatment also gave Harry a view of things that was not self-centered and really helped to develop his sense of compassion and understanding for others that made him the hero we loved.

I completely agree. Some fans (or detractors, for that matter) say that Harry should have all of these psychological and emotional problems because of how he was raised, but it's not a choice between "well adjusted" or "completely bonkers". There is a variety of levels with which he could have problems, and we do see that throughout the books.

As you mention in your essay, Harry is insecure in his self-worth and his abilities. Harry also has trust problems, at least with adults. He may trust Ron and Hermione further than anyone else, but he still expects them to leave him whenever it gets rough (esp. end of HBP and the beginning of DH, when he tells them he'll be going by himself). However, Harry never expects to have things worked out for him. He's independent to a far extreme where he doesn't expect help, so he never asks for it, even if he should, and when he does ask for it, he doesn't wait for anything more than an immediate response (such as telling McGonagall about the Stone in PS/SS and Snape about Sirius in OotP).

Great topic! You should add this to the forum pages for all of use psych geeks out there :) Adding on:
There are psychologists who believe that insecurities or personality discrepancies arise from basic needs being unmet, or traumatization during certain critical periods of development. I'm referring to Erik Erikson especially, who would attribute Harry’s certain ‘tendencies’ as the result of his treatment as a young boy, but also how they don’t become ‘complexes’ because of how he navigates his need as he grows older. For example, the Early Childhood Stage (18 months to 3 yrs) is the ‘autonomy vs shame’ stage, at which one might develop self-control, courage, and will. If a child is made to feel shame while attempting to accomplish basic skills (such as toilet training or dressing themselves) it can lead to doubt of their own capabilities or low self-esteem, both of which we see with Harry within his classes, and throughout his time at school. Some may look at this as Harry being modest, but I truly believe that he doubts that it was his skill or talent that got him through some difficult challenges. Now his experiences later in life help to offset the deficiency learned at this period within his life, but it takes the greater part of the series for this to happen.

Harry did have hope when he was younger (p. 30, chap.2). He dreamed of some unknown relative of coming to take him away. Sometimes, it seemed people in the street knew him. But eventually, he finally gave up expecting to be taken from the Dursleys
