You think Harry has PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)? Harry hasn't
shown any symptoms of this as of yet...I guess it could be extremely
delayed, and this is one thing that seems unreal about Harry is that he
hasn't shown any repercussions of his 10 years in a closet.  I'm not saying
it wouldn't be a realistic response, or that Harry will not have intimacy
issues to deal with, but I hadn't thought of PTSD in association with Harry.

Now, I have been engaged in a long detailed discussion on whether Sirius has
PTSD with another Sirius fanatic off list, anyone want to comment on this
possibility?
