 I too expect Harry's tolerance to improve with age.  IMO, he has 
already shown remarkable maturity in some ways-while on the other 
hand, still exhibiting childish behavior in other areas.  After all 
what can we expect, he is still a child.  IMO, insulting someone's 
parents is not a matter of opinion-it's taking cheap shots.   I guess 
what I am saying here is:  it will be hard for Harry to take the high 
road -when it is a "so-called" adult who is dishing out the insults.  
I also agree with the idea that learning to control your reactions is 
a major step on the road to maturity-one that some adults never take.
