It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high.

Harry, despite your privileged insight into Voldemort’s world (which, incidentally, is a gift any Death Eater would kill to have), you have never been seduced by the Dark Arts, never, even for a second, shown the slightest desire to become one of Voldemort’s followers! ”“ Of course I haven’t! ” said Harry indignantly. “He killed my mum and dad! ”“ You are protected, in short, by your ability to love! ” said Dumbledore loudly.

He could not let anybody else stand between him and Voldemort; he must abandon forever the illusion he ought to have lost at the age of one, that theshelter of a parent’s arms meant that nothing could hurt him. There was no waking from his nightmare, no comforting whisper in the dark that he was safe really, that it was all in his imagination; the last and greatest of his protectors had died, and he was more alone than he had ever been before.

Yes, alive, ” said Fudge. “That is – I don’t know – is a man alive if he can’t be killed?

Look, why don't you go talk to Ron about all this?" Harry asked." Well, I would, but he's always asleep when I go and see him! " said Lavender fretfully." Is he?" said Harry, surprised, for he had found Ron perfectly alert every time he had been up to the hospital wing. J.k. Rowling

We'll be there, Harry, " said Ron"What?""At your Aunt and Uncle's house, " said Ron, "And then we'll go with you wherever you're going.""
