This may sound ridiculous, but consider it from this perspective:
Perhaps JKR simply wrote down what Harry, himself, wanted. Many years
ago I wrote a few fantasy novels of my own (no, none was ever
published) and I found very often the characters would take on a life
of their own and it was THEIR wants and needs that drove the story
line, not mine. I'm sure JKR knows Harry well enough to know what HE
wants, and may have no choice but to respect Harry's preferences.

Besides, we all know at least one couple that leaves us scratching our
head and wondering what each sees in the other. Perhaps we must be
satisfied with knowing that we'll never know for sure why one ship
floats and another sinks.
