Tamara:
Fourth: Why does McGonagall never call Harry "Harry"? She always 
calls him Potter.

Me:
I think this just has to do with the teacher-student relationship. Although they certainly like each other (Harry complains about homework, but not really about McGonagall, and never seems to think she's a bad teacher or a mean person, and McGonagall seems to like Harry well enough as a student), it's a very unpersonal, professional relationship. And she seems to keep this standard for all students.
