This lack of crying by Harry bothers me a little, he survives more 
terrible encounters and undergoes more heartwrenching experiences by 
the time he's 15 than most people ever do in their whole lives, but 
never once a good honest (and understandable) bawling session. Does 
JKR perhaps have a thing about crying herself which tends her to not 
let her hero cry?

I have to say that for me the Mirror of Erised scene is a toughy to 
get through without blubbing or wanting to hug Harry. And please 
forgive me for the movie-contamination but when Mirrored!Lily smiles 
at him and puts her hand on his shoulder and Harry reaches out to 
hold it - and it's not there... I can't stay dried eyed when I watch 
that scene.
