I've *always* defined Harry as Lily's son too. I think as he gets 
older he will begin to think about her maybe as much as he does his 
father.  It's just at the age he is, he tends to define himself along 
his father's lines. (if that made any sense at all) I also think that 
Harry notices Molly's actions quite a bit more than he does 
Arthur's.  It may be that when he's at the Burrow, he's just simply 
around Molly more.  She seems to be the strong one in that particular 
relationship--I tend to define Arthur as Molly's husband rather than 
the other way around.
