Me:  Yeah...pretty sure he changed his own hair cut because Petunia 
tried to cut it and messed it up in PS/SS(I don't have my book to 
look it up).  But it does bring another interesting question as 
well.  Can people teach themselves to be metamorphmagi...like they 
can teach themselves to be animagi?  And...if Harry can do it 
unconciously can't he learn to control it?
