Valky:
I second that Alla. Thankyou for sharing such a great post Geoff, I 
too agree, except that I am almost 30 and also female and therefore 
also see it from an outsiders experience.

And I, like Alla, hope Harry retains a bit of his tiger spirit, 
sometimes giving a flat out serving and letting his feelings show. I 
think its honest and gives his character something more for me.
