Readers, who engage in SHIP discussions, must remember that we see 
everything from Harry's POV so we know virtually nothing events 
unless 
Harry witnessed it or was told about it. That unfortunately, leads 
often 
to assumptions that what Harry had seen is 100% full truth.

Now me:
Just a note: Even though it is true that we see *most* of the 
story/action through Harry's eyes, we don't necessarily see 100% of 
it. He's simply the character to whom we are closest. When writing 
with a 3rd person limited omniscient POV, the author can always still 
pull back away from the POV character to give the reader a broader 
(or different) view.
