Was it Lady Mcbeth's ruthlessness that did it or her utter conviction that no one but her husband was worthy of any sort of power?
ROFLMAO!
Like you named all those struggles up there for characters and it's hard for me to think of one for Harry. Except maybe for his tendency to see things in black-and-white where there should be grays but even that's downplayed.
I think even this is not so much JKR showing a struggle for Harry as a result of JKR's own tendency to see things in black-and-white rather than shades of gray, especially when the characters she has designated as the "good guys" are making the decisions.
And so, yeah, I suppose that's why I'm so behind Draco because what he's struggling against always seems so much harder just because he doesn't really have many special gifts.
Yes, exactly. I've always been rather bored by Draco, but I found his story in Book 6 much more compelling than Harry's for this very reason. He doesn't get the special breaks--he doesn't get the last minute deus-ex-machina rescue. He kept me guessing until the very end.
