old  Harry. Of course by this time Harry has learned how to 
survive in the  Dursley home.  I find it hard to believe that a 2
year old child does  not need love or cuddling.<

I found it hard to believe too, but though normally babies need 
physical contact in order to thrive, it's been observed that some 
infants actually do reject cuddling, and will stiffen, rear back and 
look away. 

Cuddly baby!Harry who coos when he's held is movie 
contamination; he was sound asleep when Hagrid held him and 
kissed him in the books.
