Oh, yeah.  My younger stepson, whose parents are (& were) 5-2 (dad) & 
5-4 (mum) suddenly had a growth spurt at about 15 or 16.  He's now 6-
2 & still growing at 18.  (heaven help us all!)  I remember too, when 
I was in high school, somewhere between sophomore & junior year, all 
the boys seemed to have grown.  Very tall.  So, I think there's hope 
for Harry yet!
