Don't forget some of the things that happened to him in the sort stories.
Restoration of Faith: beat on by troll.
Something Borrowed: Jenny Greenteeth's attack at wedding
Herot: Grendelkin and rocks
Day Off: smoke bomb exploding in hand and frenzied werewolves
The Warrior: shot by ex-military priest
Last Call: getting beat on by magic-drugged Murphy
Love Hurts: the depression from Love Spell with Murphy
There are probably more detailed sufferings that occurred during the short stories; but these are fair examples.

Don't forget to list things that he was forced to endure before Storm Front people!

Please be more specific.

Harry is in the Car with Susan and Tera West.  They realize the Lycanthropes (the streetwolves) are following them.  Harry drinks the super coffee, jumps out of the moving car, and confronts them.  After it wears off, they beat him badly.

From his POV that's a Good Thing.

Probably so, but still, finding out that someone you loved and thought dead for over a decade has actually been alive the whole time and didn't tell you has got to be pretty traumatic.

Edit:  You also forgot watching the Loup Garou's rampage through SI in Fool Moon and everything I pointed out in Ghost Story.

Before Storm Front:  Growing up without a mother, His father dying when he was young, Being betrayed by Justin (and apparently Elaine), Being attacked by HWWB, Watching the gas station attendant murdered by HWWB, Killing Justin

Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.

Set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his  life.

Having both his parents murdered.  Being placed in foster care.  Being abused in foster care.  Having his adoptive father abuse him.  Having his adoptive father try to break into his mind.  Fighting an Outsider.  The fun fun fun he had tied up in a cave by Lea and bled for magic.  Killing his adoptive father.  Being put on trial for his life, blindfolded and not understanding any of the words being said.  And all before 17.

Yeah, but Germans and Hungarians don't pull people's theories out of their sockets when they're challenged.  Ducks are known to do that.

Let's not forget about the two kids who were ripped apart by the ghouls at Camp Kaboom in White Night...

Umm.. failing what-was-her-name in Fool Moon. Kim something?

You can summarize it by saying that 3 different types of werewolves tried to use him as a chew toy.

The goal of this thread of this thread is to be a full list. If we wanted to summarise it we could just say "the bits of his life we see in the books suck for him".

"You did a bad thing once. It does not make you a monster." "What if it does? What if it does Harry?" "Molly, you are a good person. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Not even yourself." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "You're okay. You aren't a monster. You're gonna be alright, grasshopper."

Absolutely, seeing how much damage he caused Molly and all the others by his death will be major. She and Murphy (because of Kincaid) are both on the edge because he asked Molly's help to end him.
