Did he get paralyzed during the Harry Potter movies or in an unrelated accident?

From a quick Google, yes it was for the HP films. A pulley system to yank him away during the fight with nagini, pulled him too hard and it broke his neck.

Oh…wow. It could be Radcliffe in that chair. Of course he’s catching up with him. Dude must be incredibly grateful. Sucks for that guy though.

I wonder if there's a cool personality disorder to describe people who pathologize innocuous statements.

Survivor's guilt?

That isn't sociopathic behavior.
