2I could be wrong, but it was my understanding that forms of boggarts were not permanent for an individual - that it was what they were most afraid of at that time. Given Harry's recent encounter with Dementors, that's likely what he was mostly afraid of right then.– phantom42Commented Feb 19, 2015 at 18:24

@phantom42 is right. Further evidence: Neville is terrified of Snape because Snape is his teacher and he's intimidating, but he obviously didn't fear Snape at all until coming to Hogwarts a few years eariler, and likely wouldn't fear him for the rest of his life. He's just the scariest thing in Neville's life at that moment.– NerrolkenCommented Feb 19, 2015 at 18:32

Even if Harry's greatest fear at that time was dementors how does that explain that what he feared was "fear itself"? Harry's boggart form had nothing to do with "fear itself" it was simply what Harry feared greatest. Won't everyone be fearing fear itself then?– Amith KKCommented Feb 19, 2015 at 18:46

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
