Geoff:
Sorry to disagree.

"The tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm 
around her. He wore glasses and his hair was very untidy. It stuck up 
at the back just like Harry's did.

Harry was so close to the mirror now that his nose was nearly 
touching that of his reflection.

'Mum?' he whispered. 'Dad?'

They just looked at him, smiling."
