IME, it's not a good idea to define HOME (or PATH or ...) inside Emacs
differently than it's defined outside, because it will cause subtle
problems, e.g. in programs not invoked from Emacs. It is best to
define HOME in the environment outside Emacs, such that both Emacs and
the other programs use the same value.
