The "joy of fighting" without awareness of the whole "politics is the mindkiller" stuff could lead to shitty outcomes.

The key is to be fighting for that future, not against other people. Keep your eye on the prize.

I believe this message is more clearly expressed by the Sequences.

Although it can be found in HPMOR too, e.g. Harry trying to convert Draco instead of automatically considering him an enemy (as Ron would).

Note that Draco behaves similarly in this respect. It's not about being good or bad, it's about being effective.
