And Voldemort… well there wasn't really anything that was right about him. He was just wrong from the word go and nothing would ever change that. As far as Harry had been able to get in his research, Voldemort had killed his first victim when he was sixteen. And he had killed her right here in the school for which he then blamed another, younger, student when it seemed his actions would have unintended consequences that didn't please him. What was pathetic was most people knew about it and they even knew the identity of the person he had framed, but they did nothing to right the wrong they'd done him. Even to this day, Hagrid didn't have the legal right to carry his wand openly or to sit his owls. Because long ago Voldemort had said he killed a girl he didn't kill.
Harry had set that matter as right as best he could and because of that, he had Hagrid's total and complete loyalty. Hagrid, through Madam Maxime who was contacted by Harry during the summer after his second year, had arranged for Hagird to take his Owls and then his Newts in France. So Hagrid was legal to carry and use a wand in France though he still couldn't in Britain. The only reason Hagrid was still at Hogwarts was because Harry was here. He had no intention of remaining here once Harry finished school.
Dumbledore might think Hagrid was only completely loyal to himself but Dumbledore hadn't gotten Hagrid a new wand or books to study and learn from. Dumbledore hadn't kept the Ministry from sending Hagrid to Azkaban back in Harry's second year. Dumbledore hadn't used his position and authority to right the wrong done to Hagrid. Harry had done what he could though and not for what he could get from Hagrid or what Hagrid could do for him. He'd done it simply because he could. Dumbledore had only ever acted on Hagrid's behalf when there was something Dumbledore believed Hagrid could do for him in return. Example: He'd tried to send Hagrid to round up the giants this past summer and get them to agree to fight on Dumbledore's behalf when the war broke out again. As if a human-raised outcast half giant could ever convince full blooded giants to do the bidding of a mere human who wouldn't come to them himself. Harry had persuaded Hagrid to go to France instead and spend the summer visiting with Madam Maxime while buying himself a house there so he'd have someplace to live after Harry finished school. Madam Maxime was teaching Hagrid to speak French and even had a job lined up for him when he finished at Hogwarts.
But with all these people in very high positions in this society, even if Harry wanted to do something to set things back on the right track again, he wouldn't succeed. Knock any one of them down and out, and the others just became worse. The proof of that was the Tri-Wizard contest wherein two of the main competitors died and no one protested their deaths. Even though one was a very famous quiditch player of international fame. Fleur Delacour had survived but it had been a near thing for her and she'd spent the summer in recovery from her injuries. Harry seriously doubted anyone would have protested had she actually died as well. Certainly no one was protesting her very severe injuries. She would spend the rest of her life with visible reminders of what had happened to her. Yet no one cared.
So no Harry had no intention of doing anything for this world. All he intended to do was finish his studies so he could retain his wand rights and keep his core unbound and his memories unviolated. Then he would get himself emancipated and go somewhere else. Somewhere he could be safe with his owl and forget his life before he got there. With Dobby, Winky and the goblins on his side he knew he had a very good chance to disappear once he had sat for his Owls.
The house on Privet Drive would be safe until his birthday but he knew he couldn't stay there a day past that day. As soon as he signed his emancipation papers, it'd be front page news and all sorts of people would begin clamoring for him to be brought in to answer to them for his audacity in trying something like that behind their backs. Nor did he have to worry about Dumbledore trying to force him to stay with the Weasely family again since he'd marked the youngest two. Molly Weasely would never agree to house him for so much as an hour once she learned of their marking. And everyone knew she ran that house. So when the school year was over he'd return to Privet Drive and wait for his birthday to come. Then he would sign the papers and vanish as if he'd never been here at all.
But in the meantime he read and studied and learned everything he could get his hands on. He practiced Occlumency and the Mind Arts to protect his mind and thoughts. He read about and practiced detection spells so as to detect any foreign substances in his food and drink or on his belongings whether his rings would negate them or not. He read about, studied and practiced shielding spells, casting them on himself and his belongings whenever he had to be out of his rooms. He read about and studied the old laws and how they worked with the new more modern laws. And of course, he read about and practiced wordless and wandless spellcasting as often as he could. Because he was determined not to die. Not for this pathetic world anyway.
