Geoff:
Exercising my once famous grasp of canon:

'Harry, who didn't want Fred and George asking him whether he'd reached 
Hogsmeade or not, sneaked quietly up to the empty dormitory and headed 
straight for his bedside cabinet. He pushed his books aside ands quickly found 
what he was looking for - the leather-bound photo album Hagrid had given
him two years ago, which was full of wizard pictures of his mother and father. 
He sat down on his bed, drew the hangings round him and started turning the
pages, searching, until...

He stopped on a picture of his parents' wedding day. There was his father 
waving up at him, beaming, the untidy black hair Harry had inherited standing
up in all directions. There was his mother, alight with happiness, arm in arm 
with his Dad. And there... that must be him. Their best man... Harry had never 
given him a thought before'
