Love is a powerful thing. Just ask Harry Potter. Sure, he spends a good part of The Order of the Phoenix acting like a moody, angst-ridden teenager but, in the end, Harry realizes the value of love and friendship.
He doesn't have to face down the most powerful dark wizard of all time on his own. He has friends by his side who are willing to go to bat for him. People who love and care for him and who will stick with him no matter what. Maybe they can all wear matching t-shirts into battle next time?
