I quite agree with Tonks about the relationship between Harry and Dumbledore developing 
over time and Harry maturing. Harry seems to have a deep sense of responsibility, and this 
will lead him to agree, from early on book 6 I think, to work closely with Dumbledore and 
learn as much as he wants. And I think that it will be through this close interaction that 
Harry will understand Dumbedore and learn of his feelings for him, while developing his 
afection and admiration for the mentor.
