Yes, an abused child who really shows no signs of abuse, psychological or otherwise and who a reader would probably never guess was abused if they hadn't been told by the author. Harry's abuse at the hands of the Dursley's barely plays into the story other than "his family members are selfish shitty people. Look how much better than them he is." So saying he's a victim of abuse like it has some serious bearing on his story, like we see him recovering from the trauma of his abuse, or like we even see him suffering any trauma at all as a result of his abuse is just silly. He's more well-adjusted that some of the people in the books who had normal childhoods.
And I know children are not adults. For one, children are generally smarter than adults when it comes to certain things. And Harry's not a child for every single book. He's a kid who grows up under extenuating circumstances in a world where childhood ends much earlier than it does for us.
