What an interesting question.  As I began to think about it, I 
realized that NONE of the characters are really very happy in the 
truest sense of the word.  I can't help but think of the "shadow" 
premise of my generations theory... they have happy moments (some 
more than others--Fred and George might have more, Snape might have 
less) but IMO none of the characters are truly content.

Which may be part of the psychological appeal of these stories.

What do you think?
