If Harry had had control of his powers at the same early age as Tom, I'm not at all certain that he'd only have used them for good.
Yes, it's not encouraging that the first thing he wants in the magical world is a book of curses for Dudley, either. (Wasn't Voldemort using his magic young to 'punish and control'? Cause I'm thinking cursing mean Muggles falls under both.) (And going on with the frightening Movie!Harry, doesn't he not just let the snake out because he identifies with it's emo victim status, but to punish Dudley, and then seals the glass over, so Dudley's trapped? And laughs? That kid scares me.)
