Exactly, not to mention she seemed to be clueless about what a serious business it is to be a wizard.

Yeah she had no one to teach her. Young enough still to be arrogant and overconfident. A Molly prototype as it were.

You might say that, and Molly nearly lost her head because she took it upon herself without training to break one of the Laws and mess with the heads of her friends no matter how good her intentions.
As far as we know, Kim never asked to become Harry's apprentice. Harry, either the same age or just a couple of years older never presumed to become her master.. Actually once he realized what she was asking him about and what it could be used for, he tried to warn her against it. Not just because a lot of people could get hurt, but also because the Council would see it as a warlock move and she could lose her head over it. Kim lied to him from the get go about the what and the why she wanted the information, never said a word about the dangerous Loop that needed containing, just got pissed when Harry said she wasn't qualified to do it, and it was against the rules for him to give that knowledge. He might have gone into summoning circles and the kinds of monsters that are associated with that kind of circle, but do you think that would have really made an impression on Kim? Like Molly, she had already determined that she was the one that could pull the thing off.. It was a fatal mistake.

Yeah, like the Korean kid. Do you not see the connection between Kim and the Korean kid? Harry pitches a fit at the start of PG over just this type of thing. Your starting place is the same as the Councils. she did it, she owns it. If she crosses the line, off with her head. Or too bad she's dead in this case. If instead of the circle, what if instead it had been mind magic? However as much fun as this has been we are just tilling the same soil and getting nowhere.

No.
Harry even tells us the difference in PG:
"That boy had noone to tell him the rules, to teach him"
Kim had. She just refused to listen.

The argument has been that Harry wasn't Kim's teacher. Clear this up for me if you would. Was he or not?
