Astrid raised her hand and said, "I've thought about that before actually and I've always wondered...If he hadn't met them on the train, what if Malfoy had become his friend first, like he originally tried to become. Would Harry have ended up in Slytherin after all? The Sorting Hat would have probably placed him there if he hadn't intervened. Which makes me wonder, just what kind of wizard would Harry have turned out to be if he went through his adolescence in Slytherin with Draco. Just how much of his personality or even his choices would have been effected by his environment? Would he still have fought the Dark Lord if he was so close to his followers?" Astrid took a deep breath. That was quite a mouthful but she had lots of questions when it came to that time Harry's life.
