Huck Finn, throughout the novel, goes through no moral changes. There are, admittedly, times when he considers whether what he is doing is right, but he proceeds in every one of these instances to just go on doing whatever it was anyway. The most important example of this is when he is considering turning Jim in, and by this point in the novel he had already been on the raft for a fairly long period of time.
Some people feel that Huck took more control of his life, but in reality he only took control when no one else was controlling him. This makes him a situational leader, but this status doesn't really develop throughout the book: at the beginning, he chooses to escape his father and at the end he makes the decision to help Jim escape the Sawyers. This is the only trait that it seemed like Huck might have changed in to me, and he obviously didn't change in it to me.
