This is really interesting and I think you've hit the nail on the head. The only thing I don't agree with is the book being much of a negative influence. The book and knowledge wasn't bad so much as Harry's use of it to cheat in class, blind trust because he liked the Prince and trying out unknown spells on people. Some of it was certainly something to be cautious of but the problems all occurred because of Harry. I don't think there was much that was personal in the book, just information and notes which makes it difficult for me to really see it as an influence.
