I am not sure if Cathy meant to say that Harry is a narrator, but he 
is most definitely not, IMO.

I think Eggplant is correct. The narrator is third person limited 
POV - as I understand it - narrator for the most part is showing 
events through Harry's eyes, BUT is definitely able to step back or 
look through other character's eyes, as we saw in chapters 1 and 2 
of HBP and in GoF chapter about Riddle House.



I wish I had a link to Carol's old excellent post about  the 
narrator in the  books.

JMO,

Alla.
