I think he's a character much like Sirius -- they both had such irregular lives that they are sometimes caught in suspend adolescence.

My favorite scenes in the books (which are always deeply underrated) are the ones where Harry shows this sort of uncanny old soul. He has forced himself to think as an adult for any number of reasons, not least of which that he spent a lot of his life unable to trust any adult. And it's not necessarily his whole personality that is so mature, it's that he has come to some feelings and revelations you normally don't get or understand until later life. So that whole scene where he sums up Lupin and sends his ass home is amazing, and no one ever remembers it for Harry, just Lupin.

(I also love when you realize that Ron and Hermione are so young at heart in comparison, like when they both seem freaked by the idea of anyone choosing the stone Hallow, or after this scene in question, when they're like, "Why did you upset him we could use his help?" and can't seem to grasp how right Harry is about why you can't just abandon a child without the best possible reason.)

TL:DR, I love Harry.

This is a beautiful interpretation of the characters and I'm stealing it for myself...

I really dig how you worded it because yep - Harry was observing it all from some distance and Dursleys demanded him to grow up fast. He did not have a chance to grow emotionally much in some cases like his relationships with Ginny and Cho (that stomach monster was hilarious but okay could be him being a teenager).

Remus and Sirius did not mature in the way Harry did, could have in other ways (maybe not Sirius) as we do not see not they might have had time for that. Then you realise they were not even 40 when they died.

I never liked any of Marauders or their peers but it is due to well ... ordinary 'meh' stuff.
