Do you think she didn't notice moments he could have admitted that? She's said she doesn't reread her own work, so she might have just forgotten that there are moments in which he might have seen Harry as someone other than evil little James 2.
I don't think I'd mind so much if it weren't for what you say - Harry is exceptionally good because he is the only character ever willing or able to admit they might have been remotely able to change and reexamine their prejudices and preconceptions. If ONE character did that, or attempted it, the story would make more sense. I mean, it's a hard thing to do, but you'd think wizards would at least try, on occasion at least.
