Does Harry risk his life and put himself in danger to be the hero? Does he care about being the hero?

I do think he has a saving people thing but I don't think he is ever doing something so others will see him as a hero. He doesn't see himself as a hero, he knows he is human. He is often desperate and throws himself in danger as he feels he has to act to save the life of someone especially when it is someone he cares about such as a loved one. He isn't looking for glory or credit
