The Sergeant Majorette says:
The short answer is, he can't, although the kind of abuse Harry
endures is almost a staple of British children's literature. Harry is
a textbook case of attachment disorder, which is why he has such
problems accepting help or even recognizing the offer.
This is a major argument for Harry's not surviving the end of the
series. He is not capable of forming a healthy romantic relationship,
without which there can be no conventional "happily ever after".
