Excellent point.  I have really come to appreciate Harry's talent for 
thinking fast in a crisis because I've recently realized that I get 
positively sluggish in a crisis.  Some usually-intelligent people 
can't think at all when time is tight and the stakes are high.  
There's such a thing as a man of action, and Harry's definitely one of 
them.
