I never really thought about this until after I saw the movie, but right
after viewing it for the first time, I thought "why is Harry so polite?".
I'm no psych major, but I would just think that someone who has been treated
the way he has by his 'family' would not be so well mannered.  But I'm glad
I'm not the only one feels that way.
