I see Harry as someone who wants someone to love him, he wants to the one to be supported, and someone to take care of him.
He forced into this position of leader and he doesn't like it. I feel that's why more than anything he forgave Dumbles after 5th year, because he was back to being his mentor, his guide who will help him through this prophecy thing. At least until he was killed.
I feel that the top/bottom situation depends on the person. Because it is typically seen from the outside as the 'female' role, there is this big stigmatizism associated with it.
In the U.S. it seems that the position is versitile, but in Japan there is more this designation of male and female role. I guess this is more so because of the Okama way of things in Japan. typically in Shinjuku ni-chome, gays are associated with transvestites. They sell this idea, even in the media that being the bottom gay is being associated with being female.
More along the lines the sexual role is what the dynamic is in the relationship, but this is not always true. Some it is quite the opposite, others they actually switch top/bottom positions.
March and fests and deadlines, seems near universal.
I haven't made my way through the HP fics. I'm picky on my pairings. ;D Not to mention I've been splitting my time between reading updated ff.net ficies, writing my pf fic (which hates me completely), and reading graphic novel (manga) gay porn. Oh yeah, I've also been distracted by the lj kerfluffle... It's getting bad. 50 pages so far, on the fauxpology.
And now people realize that 6A or SUP censored some interests like on fanfiction, yaoi, bisexuality....
Not to mention remarks the SUP head guy Niosk(sp?) said about getting rid of ALL paid accounts...
