I don't see Harry as an alpha male either. He would rather be left 
alone and have a few good friends. Draco is a bit of an alpha male 
though.

Anyway, as a kid I would have loved to hang out with Harry, Ron, and 
Hermione. I reckon that Hermione would have had a lot to talk about 
since we share the "bookworm" nature. Interestingly enough I'd have 
probably hung out with Luna as well (she's more weird than I am but 
not by much). I guess it means that Hermione would probably have run 
a mile rather than be caught dead in my company (initially at 
least). :-)

As an adult I would have liked the company of Remus. Probably the 
bookish thing again. But James and Sirius would have been good 
too... lots of laughs there hopefully. And Hagrid too just because 
he's a nice person.
