Wells if you are gonna be that pissy and rude about it, I suggest 
that you read the books more closely.

"Harry suddenly realized that there were TEARS on his face mingling 
with the sweat.  He bent his face low as possible, WIPING them off on 
his robes, pretending to do up his shoelace, so that Lupin wouldn't 
see." (PoA, 178 - UK)

There, you WERE right.  JKR can indeed describe a tear quite well 
when she wants to.  And that, definitely, implies that Harry is 
capable of shedding tears.  I think I remember Harry crying in some 
other scenes, but I can't remember the exact quotes from the books.
