My turn:  Oooo!  This is getting interesting.  I mean I don't know why I just can't see James, as into Lily Evans as he was rejecting cuddeling and affection.  I can't see Lily either, something in what we know about her..they were both extremely well respected and had many friends.  Let's be honest the two didn't seem to be without adult bonds.  
 
My thoughts is this rejection, the fear that he has in him almost at the thought of bonding with another human being (he rarely even hugs Hermione, seems a bit odd when Molly hugs him) is from what happened when Lily was killed.  If Lily, as I suspect was in deed holding Harry at the time of death, don't you think that would have an affect on him.  We all see that Harry is afraid of getting close to people, of loosing them.  I personally believe that these are very repressed feelings not from just the horrors of Sirius falling through the veil or the years of growing up with the Dursleys, but from the very momment that this child's life was turned 180.  
 
I dunno just a mindless thought that I had.
