I guess we're just gonna have to agree to disagree, right? All in 
good fun, right? Well, you make some fair points, Del. As to how 
much Harry was effected by his childhood experiences, you are right. 
I always thought that JKR didn't do much showing how bad off he was. 
But anyway, perhaps there are longstanding consequences. After all, 
Harry knew by OotP, and before that I'm sure, that Aunt Petunia 
didn't "give a damn" about him, and in PoA we see the beginings of 
some of Harry's repressed anger bubble up, so we'll just have to 
wait and see. Anyway, remaining, always, a Harry lover till the end.
