This is so classic for JKR!  I must admit in advance that I believe 
Harry is a metamorphmagus, primarily because it would be such a COOL 
thing to find out about himself that no one else knows. Just imagine 
Harry hiding on Magnolia Crescent from some horrible DE trying to 
figure out how he is going to get back to #4 when he focuses all of 
his being on becoming...Dudley! Imagine the fun!

I see the connection with the hair as a very strong indicator.  We 
know Harry re-grew his hair and what is it that Tonks changes? Her 
hair of course.  Becoming an animagus is "very difficult" and he does 
not have time but we know from Tonks that Metamorphmagi(?) are born 
not made...no work there! 

Too much time to think about it...Hurry up Ms. Rowling!
