As a very touchy-feely type person, I have also noticed this. I mean, 
I hug friends when they come over to my house and when they leave. 
But perhaps this is part of the reason why when I did my character 
quiz (way back when) I came up as Hagrid. Hagrid seems to always be 
hugging Harry, embracing Harry, falling on Harry, etc. Hagrid is also 
just about the only person (other than perhaps Ginny?) who openly 
cries. Is this a giant trait???
