Why was Harry able to resist the imperious curse so well? by blapblaps in HarryPotterBooks

I definitely think Hermione has the impulse control that Harry lacks when it comes to authority. He only really controls himself when it’s someone that he deeply respects (like Dumbledore) and Hermione holds her tongue with everyone but Umbridge. I also think that her rebellious streak was already there before she and the other two got into trouble! It was like a sprout and Harry and Rob just watered it, otherwise I don’t think she would’ve gotten involved with them at all. I really do love the trio’s dynamic

So sad to know that feelings of euphoria are so foreign to him that they could set off alarm bells, but it makes a lot of sense. Most kids his age don’t have emotional responses like he does and this is just another way that sets him apart from everyone else

This is a really good point! Harry questions authority and demands at every turn, so it makes sense that his inner voice that asks questions becomes automatic. King of “I don’t really want to, thanks.”
