Don replies:
There's a big difference between seeing "the" moment, and seeing "a"
moment. As you note later on, Pippin, it didn't last, and "just for a
second she saw him as a guy who was getting a bit above himself."
I'll still hang my hat on the last chapter of the last book (6), where
Ginny tells Harry that she "knows" he wouldn't be happy unless he was
fighting Voldemort. Either JKR and her editor(s)did a sloppy job
letting this comment get into print (as it goes against both the truth
and what someone who knows the "real" Harry would say), or Ginny is
still an immature girl who wants to project her idea of what
Harry "should" be onto who he really is.
