a boy in search of a father

I was wondering today how I would feel if Harry doesn't resolve this 
search for a father by the end of the series.  It would be almost as bad 
as if he dies because wouldn't a part of him either die or remain 
unborn?  Doesn't he remain scarred for life if this isn't addressed?

It would seem very efficient if the HBP could fill the role as a father 
figure but I would suspect great conflict on Harry's part in accepting 
that relationship.
