"It's his [Harry's] lonely existence that makes for such an endearing character..."

What do you guys think? Is this part of the reason we like Harry, that he's a trifle sad when it comes to his personal life?

Are we all clucky over Harry?

I really liked him even before we found out how sad his personal life has been. I think it's the quirky sense of humour and his way with words that does it for me. I do like that there's one part of his life that he's not brilliant at, it makes him human. But his social awkwardness is actually shown off best when he's trying to interact with Ruth like a normal human being in my opinion.
