I actually did the exact same thing with a friend of mine around five 
years ago. I had a bit of a crush on him (albeit childish), but he 
had a bit of a crush on another girl. He was telling me about a 
conversation they had in which she had mentioned that I seemed to be 
more like a girlfriend than a best friend, because we were always 
together and we spoke on the phone and we took care of each other, 
bla bla bla. Now, I remember I told him exactly how to explain to her 
that we were just very good friends (although I did want to be more 
than friends.)

And here's the freaky part... wanting to know what he thought of me 
physically, I remember I told him to tell her that there could never 
be anything between us because he thought I was "ugly" And I remember 
him replying immediately that he couldn't say that cause I wasn't 
ugly. (ring a bell?)

Now, I know my friend didn't have feelings for me at that time, but I 
had feelings for him... and I said the "ugly" comment because I was 
fishing for answers to see how he felt about me.

Since I read that convo I have no doubt Hr has feelings for H, 
although what Harry feels is another thing entirely.
