[QUOTE="seebs, post: 480603, member: 2070"] Harry is arguably disobedient to his abusive foster parents. As to lying, that is a concern I have; Harry does lie sometimes, although I think they do a good job of making it clear that it's not always the right thing to do. Hermione lies to a teacher to get Harry and Ron out of trouble; this is portrayed as self-sacrifice for friends (a good thing). I don't much approve, but then, self-sacrifice *is* a virtue sometimes. I wouldn't say it's a real problem from a role-model standpoint. I plan to tell my kids (if/when I have any) that, if they ever find the entire world in danger of being destroyed by an evil sorcerer, that they have my permission to lie or be out after curfew to deal with it, if for some reason no one else can.
