And Darrin, foolishly inserting himself into this again:

Don't you ladies have any survival instincts? Harry's a nice kid and 
all, but he's also marked for death by the most evil wizard anyone 
can remember.

Here's how a guy, IF he were being honest with himself and hadn't 
just finished watching the Terminator or Rocky, would react to a 
Harriet Potter, with the same problems.

Harriet: Yes, I've got Voldemort going after me. He's also targeted 
my best friend, Veronica and my other best friend, Herman. 

Honest guy: So, he'd also likely target anyone you started dating?

Harriet: Uh-huh

Honest guy: Well, good luck with that. And, uh, do you know if 
Lavender is seeing anyone?
