It seems that a new discussion topic is needed. Please spare me, it's late for me and I just randomly came up with the thought, but tell me what you think!

Umm I think he wouldn't be the hero we know today, he'd have different values I think, be harder, plan ahead more. All in all I think he would have been more Slytherin in his thinking. But that's just me.

*Hi James*

I definitely agree with you! His irrational thinking is what saved him, and his friends, from all of those dangers. That plays in part with his bravery that placed him in Gryffindor. Had he not have that courage to do things without thinking of the latter consequences, or only thinking about his friends while being as selfless as anyone can be, he would have most definitely been placed in Slytherin.

*Hi! :hello*

*You know what I just realised? I'm not even a member of this FC. Oh well I'll join later.*

There is nothing necessarily wrong with that though, I think he may have been better at thinking for the long term instead of the short term and he may have been able to see through the manipulations of others thus preventing some of the things that happened from happening. I think if he had of been a slythie or known of the events that Sirius would have lived a bit longer as Harry would have seen through Voldie and known that the vision was a fake.

Well, of course there's nothing wrong with being a Slytherin. However, for Harry, it would have been mentally appalling to know that his father and mother were both in Gryffindor. His Godfather was in Gryffindor. And his greatest enemy was in the house he was in? And especially in CoS, he would be considered the heir even more. o.O

*Lmao. I thought you couldn't post unless you were in the FC...o.O*

I guess, but then he would have been able to think more like Voldie did, which would have been better for him I think. Also he may have been able to stop some of his generation from becoming DE's, since he would have associated with those whose circumstances, having all the other houses seemingly hate them, were most likely to turn into Death Eaters. Besides which your house doesn't make you, you make your house. And even if Harry was a Slythie I think that he would have allied the houses better since he was Harry Potter. It may have saved more people if he was a slythie.

*Yea I thought the same thing but apparently not. anyway I applied to join before so yea. Oh and happy extremely belated birthday.*

If Harry had known in the beginning that he would have to die or murder things would have turned out differently.

Harry would not have involved any one of his friends to help him. He would have been scared to death. I don't think he would have understood as well as he did later.

He would have prepared himself for a final battle between himself and the Dark Lord. But I think he would still hate the Dark Lord and the dark arts for taking away his family from him.

If Harry knew what was about to come from the beginning we wouldn't have found our "Hero" interesting and brave. Harry would always be ringing with Voldemort's name in his mind and he would have forgot to join in the celebrations around. He would have lost his most valuable power, the power to Love. Harry would not have fancied to be with his friends he would have got more tensed and besides knowing things at the beginnings don't suit stories !

I truly agree.Knowing how everything will end,would not have made Harry our hero.He would have been very calm and so that would've made the story kinda boring.He would've won whatever he fighted for,but that would have made the story a bit plain...

Hi everyone! Interesting point! ^

well if Harry did knew he would have to face Voldemort in the end he wouldnt have made any friends or joined in all the fun...on the other hand..if Harry knew he was anyways going to win over Voldemort...he would've taken everything so lightly that he wouldnt have been the Harry we know....

If Harry had known that he would win in the end he probably would have taken things a lot lighter than he did, not have prepared very well and not be that concerned about it. On the other end, I think he would have tried to fight Voldemort all on his own, since he knew that his friends were not safe and that they might die in the battle. If he had known who was going to die, he might have taken some kind of steps to try and save them, I don't know.

No, Harry was never afraid of death so I really odn't think it would have changed him to know his fate, he still would have been the same reckless amazing hero we all know and love because he's not the kind of guy to stand down even if he going seems easier, I personally believe if he would have known his fate from about 15 on it woud'nt have changed him, any age before that I'm not so sure.

I believe Harry would never change. He would fear but still face his fate. At the age of 15 or 11 he was always what he was, what we knew he was: brave and kind. And I think he wouldn't let his friends and loves join with him in any danger. Because of his hatred for Dark Art he would never be sorted in Slytherin. He still would have been the amazing hero we know and love
