Geoff:
Now, Jen, don't take on so.

(With apologies to Professor Dumbledore):

You think the boy wizard heroes we have loved ever truly leave us? 
You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times 
of great trouble? Harry is alive in you and shows himself most 
plainly when you have need of him.
  
So, in future years when you lie awake at night thinking back to the 
times when you vicariously enjoyed life at Hogwarts..... you will 
find him inside yourself.
