I think you've about got it. I don't know if love has anything to do 
with it yet. I see it this way, in PoA Harry is 13, he has spent 13 
years with a family who wants absolutely nothing to do with him, 
he's spent 3 years at Hogwarts trying not to get killed, now his 
fathers best friend wants him to come live with him. He jumps at the 
chance because for probably the first time in his life he feels 
really wanted by someone. I think anyone would jump at that chance 
if they had been through the same things.
