Emfer:

This whole debate started with Del not agreeing that H/G has a mature
relationship.
She never said that that Harry IS a sexual predator. She said that
there could be people out there who could see it that way. She backed
up her believes in post 135989 that she does not see any evidence that
H/G does have a mature relationship. Wether you agree with her or not
is another matter.
