I mean Haku got killed by Kakashi's chidori, if he was so powerful he could have countered it or somthing.
Kakashi also smacked the crap out of zabuza afterwards. I know Kakashi got done by the water prison, however, i think that scenario was created as a twist and an oppenning for Naruto and Sasuke.
Maybe Haku could have countered that Chidori from Kakashi, but i think he just didnt want to...
U know he wanted Naruto to kill him, that was because Naruto was stronger than him (when half posessed by Nine-Tails) so he wasnt worthy battling for Zabuza anymore (Zabuza needed a strong boy as a tool) and he sacrificed himself to save Zabuza

If that would be so then we might have not met Haku
