But if Harry isn't a metamorphmagus, then its importance must lie
elsewhere.  Perhaps Tonks will have a much larger role in books 6 and
7.  Or perhaps another character whom we never suspected (Hermione?
Luna?  Goyle?  Who knows!) will turn out to have this amazing ability.

Julia responds:

I also think that in future books there will be a metamorphmagus. It's like
with Polyjuice Potion. In CoS it's introduced to us. We learn about it and
how it works. Than, in GoF the Polyjuice Potion play a huge role. IMO it's
what JKR likes the best. Small hints in previous books which should lead us
to the solution. Clever. I'm almost sure that in 6. or 7. book we will meet
a new metamorphmagus (maybe a DADA teacher??) or Harry will turn out to be
one.

Remember what Tonks says to Harry when he first meets her? Wizards can't
just change their appearance at will. Unless they are Metamorphmagi,
they must use complicated spells and potions. Harry doesn't need this to
grow his hair back. While he does do other externally focused wandless
magic, magical transfiguration on yourself is particularly difficult and
potentially dangerous (note how long it took WPP to become Animagi and
how often this idea of difficult self-transfiguration is re-enforced).

Julia responds:

I REALLY like your theory!! It seems that there is no other way but Harry
turns out to be a metamorphmagus! I think it would be very important for a
plot and this whole Voldemort-and-Harry-must-battle thing. Don't you think?
It's really interesting why it hasn't turned out yet but... I, in fact,
can't remember any situation in which Harry wishes he were someone else,
looked different. Of course he's ALWAYS wanted to be someone else but he
can't change the history...In a matter of fact, Harry hasn't anything
against his appearance...
