   I can't point you to a specific message as I'm relatively new
here, 
and I don't want to search through 130,000+ messages either. BUt I
can 
give you my thoughts:

   Everyone has always commented to Harry exactly how much he reminds 
them of James and Lily. DD has even remarked that Harry has some of 
his father in him. Remember in SS/PS, Harry's hair *magically* grows 
back after Petunia takes him and has his head nearly shaved bald. 
Perhaps since James purposefully made his hair that way, and Harry 
retains a little bit of his father's *magic* so to speak, Harry's
hair 
naturally does what it does.
