Alla: 

I don't think that is a problem either. I mean I am sure it has some 
kind of psychological explanation. Every pattern of our behaviour 
can be analysed with very interesting results, but whatever are 
roots of Harry's "saving people thing", I admire characters and real 
people with such trait.
