Has anyone ever realized that the reason Dumbledore dies is all because of Harry?Had Harry not been a little bitch in year one, he goes Slytherin and then becomes friends with Draco Malfoy who isn't going to kill the headmaster that Harry is tight with. That's all it would have taken. The only other Death Eaters who had kids at Hogwarts, if my memory is correct, is Crabbe and Goyle who also would have been Harry's bros.
In this scenario, it's highly likely that Harry would have sided with Voldemort and, therefore, millions more would have died.

I'm pretty sure he was trolling.
Harry worried about that for a while, knowing the hat wanted to put him in Slytherin, but Dumbledore told him that he had a choice, ALWAYS had a choice. He had a choice to ignore the prophecy or grab on to it, and choosing to accept it was the only thing that gave the prophecy any credence.
I love this part of Prince:
“‘But, sir,’ said Harry, making valiant efforts not to sound argumentative, ‘it all comes to the same thing, doesn’t it? I’ve got to try and kill him, or -‘
‘Got to?’ said Dumbledore. ‘Of course you’ve got to! But not because of the prophecy! Because you, yourself, will never rest until you’ve tried! We both know it! Imagine, please, just for a moment, that you had never heard that prophecy! How would you feel about Voldemort now? Think!’
Harry watched Dumbledore striding up and down in front of him, and thought. He thought of his mother, his father and Sirius. He thought of Cedric Diggory. He thought of all the terrible deeds he knew Lord Voldemort had done. A flame seemed to leap inside his chest, searing his throat.
‘I’d want him finished,’ said Harry quietly. ‘And I’d want to do it.’
‘Of course you would!’ cried Dumbledore. ‘You see, the prophecy does not mean you have to do anything! But the prophecy caused Lord Voldemort to mark you as his equal … in other words, you are free to choose your way, quite free to turn your back on the prophecy! But Voldemort continues to set store by the prophecy. He will continue to hunt you … which makes it certain, really, that -‘
‘That one of use is going to end up killing the other,’ said Harry. ‘Yes.’
But he understood at last what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him. It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.”

Zero chance Harry sides with Voldemoret. The guy killed his parents. That was NEVER going to happen.
