That was a lesson Murphy had to learn didn't she? Once she did, it worked out.

It's easier for an individual to learn that their preconceived notions and, or limited information they based their earlier decisions on were faulty or incomplete and then reevaluate the situation and people they are dealing with; and perhaps make better decisions and take more fair and appropriate actions in the future, than for someone working in a group or organization can do. This is true whether the group is formally organized like a business, religious order, government organization or is simply a mob.
Group mentality tends to reinforce it's beliefs on the individuals within it and is more difficult for an individual working within it to break with. I don't know how the Librarians will react to and interact with Harry, but they will probably be far more difficult to reason with than Murphy was. Harry has already interacted with some "men in black" characters in one of the comic books or short story, so they probably already have a dossier on Harry and already consider him to be dangerous and to have made questionable allegiances and alliances. So, similar to the White Council's opinion of Harry, but more exaggerated and less accurate at the same time.

I too made that connection.

My first and immediate thought on reading this, even though I agree, was "oh, sweet summer child."

"Hiro Protagonist, a name you'll never forget." Haven't read it, but my brother often quotes it out of the blue.

Well, I know what you mean with that but I feel in the obligation to tell you that I am, in fact, a sweet summer child :). I was born quite close to the solstice. Of course, it is Winter for you, Northener people, but that is not my problem. And I was a sweet child too :)

Being caller a Northerner, as someone who has spent the entirety of my life living south of I-10, reminds me of yet another GoT reference. When the Wildlings kept referring to "the North" as South. :)
