At this cynical hour of the evening, I think the earlier post which suggested Voldishorts is a tragic hero because he wanted to reform the stagnant and degenerating wizarding society but was just too insane to succeed might have been right. It took me three revisions of an attempt at a Mage: The Ascension character to conclude that the WoD was not worth saving and the best end for a character there was to vanish into a pocket reality of their own from Paradox; the more I think about the Potterverse the more the same answer seems to apply. Maybe that's why I can't believe in Harry as a hero in the end analysis, it's not heroic if everything you do was pointless in the end because it just preserves the status quo ante bellum.
