• I would say its a tie between Atticus and Dumbledore, but Dumbledore stated plainly that he didn't trust himself with power. So Finch is clearly the better man for the job!

• Really surprised that nobody's mentioned Frodo Baggins, who was willing to let go of power when he had it.

• Though I think Albus Dumbledore is basically the wizarding world version of Atticus Finch, I will have to go with the original - Mr. Finch.

• Atticus Finch, without question.
  
  That man is the epitome of justice, strength, and integrity. There are not enough adjectives to describe him. And besides, he was elected to the Alabama State Legislature.
  
  "We're so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are, we've got men like Atticus to go for us."

• Elizabeth Bennett (Pride & Prejudice), by all means! A proto-feminist, who had enough self-awareness to admit her shortcomings (privately AND publicly). She demonstrated the courage of her convictions, no matter how uncomfortable or unpopular among her family and peers.
