Is Harry Potter really the boy who lived. Harry Potter did not really live after experiencing the Killing Curse. He survived life after that happened. From being the whipping boy of the Dursley's to becoming the play toy of Dumbledor's whom always had his best interest at heart. Which is something I have always sincerely doubted. He also become a toy of Voldemort's, by way of practicing magic and things that will kill you on. He became the metaphor for everything bad that can happen, can happen to me. He became Hermoine's whipping post so she could feel better about herself. He became Ron's pet toy, who constantly asked for things. He became the quidditich team's golden boy first because of his father then on his on merits. He became the demeantor's play toy because they liked his mind. He became the death eaters chew toy because he always had people around to be used as collateral to be cursed. He became Remus Lupin's hope for a cure for being a werewolf. He became Sirus's remedy to becoming part way back to sanity. So he didn't live he was just a puppet for the people in his life. His wants were never asked, his likes never enquired about, his reason for living never found and what he wanted to achieved never given credence too, so the Boy Who Lived never actually existed.
