Thanks for your input.  As a Yankee who hasn't even left Florida 
much, I don't know much about Welsh pride. I've heard about Scottish 
pride...and Irish pride is rather well known...but I don't know who 
else from whatever region is in question would or wouldn't "blast" me 
otherwise...well, at this point I don't but maybe that will change.

So how do Harry's "Welsh" qualities show up in the Canon, if at all?  
I would appreciate learning something about this.

BTW, I have been told through a private email that work has indeed 
been done on Harry Potter's astrological background before...on this 
site.  If this is indeed the case, I will look up the old messages 
that someone referred me to...thanks.
