Alla:

Yes, Jenny those are the reasons I love Harry too. :o) 

I want to add a few.

I love that in the tense situation of the Shrieking Shack, he found a 
time to think about Sirius and Remus first, not about his revenge of 
his parents.

I love that Harry was compassionate enough to think about Luna when 
he just lost Sirius.

List can go on and on and on.:o)
