[HPforGrownups] Harry's CAN'T be the loner

    I agree wholeheartedly with Amy.  I can't see Harry as a loner, he'd get
far too depressed.  I see him needing a lot of human contact and comfort
when he's older.  Even in his squabbles with Hermione and Ron he shows us
that he needs a steady, calm shrine for affection.  Plus, he *is* getting
stronger emotionally and I think he will stick that way.
