** Harry, for obvious reasons. He comes across as having more of an American action hero feel to him; he keeps a gun because it might come in useful, he drawls, he's quick to throw witty and sarcastic remarks at authority figures, and he draws a lot of inspiration from American military procedures. It ''does'' make sense as older!Harry did spend a lot of time with the Americans following the deaths of his friends but it can be jarring when comparing him to the very British school boy he was the first time around.

*** This happens after Charlie learns that Harry is, in mind, older than him, so perhaps he was going the "insanely overprotective brother" because he did not want his sister to "fall prey" to someone that might be manipulating her. It's also worth noting that he's never spent any time with Harry and doesn't know what he's like on a personal basis.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: Harry's confession in the Chamber of Secrets]] might seem similar to someone coming out to their family, with the fear and very real possibility of being rejected once the truth is out. [[spoiler: Harry's resignation that his friends would automatically hate him right afterward would also hit close to home.]] The fact that his fears are proven wrong also may be similar to being accepted rather than rejected like one would fear.

Move example to YMMV as there's no definitive author statement about whether it was an intentional reference, it's individual judgement
