So the only way to resist temptation is to first give in to temptation and then change your mind? No, I think free will requires that one can reject the coin without first accepting it. Such an act would require a definitive renouncement of all the coin offers. In the past, that has only been accomplished by giving up all magic power (to resist the temptation of power one must relinquish all power). Harry, however, managed to do it by tempting the temptress.
