Sectumsempra and what it says about Harry

Book 6: HP & the Half-Blood Prince Forum

Harry's reaction to what the sectumsempra curse did to Draco seems to show that Harry doesn't really want to hurt anyone, not even someone he despises and suspects to be a Death Eater. What do you think this says about his ability to kill Voldemort?

Its his ability to love that stops him WANTING to hurt people ... Dumbeldore said that Harry was Full to the brim with love (i think) while Voldemort has none. I think he wouldnt have reservations about hurting Voldy, because of the great hatred and revenge he feels for him. He didnt want to kill Draco, which is what he thought he had done, Draco was just a rival, not an enermy like Voldemort.

Draco's case is different than Voldemort. Harry might even spare Snape, but he will have to kill Voldemort, because he knows that Voldemort will never stop hunting him because he believes in the prophecy, and Harry has to kill him not only for revenge, but also for self-preservation.

M.

Harry has no choice... it's kill or be killed. Voldemort killed Harry's parents, and because of him, Sirius, and Dumbledore, have been taken from him as well. He's going to see friends die. Hell, Cedric was murdered too.

Harry will be able to do things that he didn't think that he was capable of, when it comes down to it, in the end.

Draco was a rival, but Harry would not want to really injure him, humiliate him yes but not hurt.

When it comes to Voldemort, Harry will find the anger to perform the killing curse, or some other way to kill him. He robbed Harry of all those who were dear to him- his family. How could he not mean it with every fiber of his being if he does utter "avada kedavra."

He also cast Sectumsempra right after seeing a better side of Draco that would make almost anyone feel sorry for him.

... this time with out his horcrux's ... hopfully!
