Pish posh. That’s what Harry tells himself, but what do his actions say? He’s doubled down in favor of Quirrell. His self-reported unease is meaningless because the stakes are on the table and Quirrell is setting up the next round. Harry’s resistance to bailing on one of his plans is proportional to the difficulty faced, and so next time around he will be even more in Quirrell’s camp then he is now.
I’m still a little dubious of Harry’s judgment of late (though it seems to be recovering), but I’m really surprised you’re worried about his intentions.
I’m worried about his intentions because they suggest his morality is ill-tuned to the problems he faces. They will allow him to excuse himself all the way down to the bottom.
