That's interesting.  I like your list, but I would definitely add 
Dumbledore before anyone else.  More than once it is mentioned that 
Harry feels safe with Dumbledore around and he tends to completely 
trust anything Dumbledore says.  Aside from that, I feel that 
Dumbledore represents what Harry would like to be: good, honest, 
strong, and not so serious all the time.  Dumbledore has helped Harry 
sort through some very difficult things, such as why the Sorting Hat 
considered Slytherin for Harry and why Harry was able to survive 
Quirrel's touch and Voldemort's curse.  That would have quite an 
impact on me, too.

I also happen to absolutely adore Dumbledore.  :-)
