Geoff:
I think he already has begun to....

In message 118643, I was following up a thread which I had actually 
started at message 118574 "Harry's developing behaviour - average or 
unique?" and I wrote the following which I think is relevant to your 
comment.....

"Harry nodded. He somehow could not find words to tell them what it 
meant to him to see them all ranged there, on his side. Instead, he 
smiled, raised a hand in farewell, turned around and led the way out 
of the station towards the sunlit street with Uncle Vernon, Aunt 
Petunia and Dudley hurrying along in his wake."

 (OOTP "The Second War Begins" p.766 UK edition)

That smile, for me, is almost like the sun beginning to try to break 
through the heavy storm clouds after rain on the hills above my home; 
things are beginning to clear, there is hope that brightness is 
coming.
