Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

History:Henry remembers his childhood fondly. True his parents prided themselves on doing their best at all times, but they never forgot their family or about spending time with their children. There were many trips for chocolate frog cars and other sweets. The family even found time to see a professional quidditch match every now and again.
His little sister even sort of grew on him, even if she did spit up on him a lot as a baby and have a lot of 'magical accidents' that resulted in minor bodily harm on his part when they were young young children.
With a large extended family, there was always someone around. Henry adored his uncles, and would follow them anywhere.
He and his cousin Scarlett harassed each other to no end. But the two ultimately made a pact. If it ever got to where they needed a break, they could swap rooms . They would stay with each others parents, siblings etc. Of course said agreement was contingent upon neither one snooping or committing any 'serious' pranks in the others domicile.
It's been a good deal for everyone, and not only does it keep peace it's brought their extended family even closer. In a way they each had three siblings. Sure, there have been some slip ups. And the time Henry trying to room swap at Hogwarts didn't go over so well. (Despite the fact he assured the Hufflepuff ladies he didn't see anything. There's just no pleasing some people.)
In addition to being a fairly decent quidditch player and rather good when it comes to dueling Henry takes pleasure in socializing with his friends, getting a smile out of his school mates, and many of his school subjects. It may sound strange, but he actually likes learning and most of his teachers for that matter.
He also enjoys being a prefect, though he's decidedly not the most stringent prefect ever known to roam the halls. It does get him out and about though, and more importantly he gets to help younger students, which isn't half bad.
