HUGE BATTLE GROUND SPOILERS - (Un)Answered questions
Dina:
Counterpoint: Besides his love for his family and friends, he was protected by True Love twice. Jim has said that True Love is extremely rare, but Harry got it twice. I am sure that is extraordinary (sensu stricto, it is out of ordinary, by far).

Yeah, I imagine that Lara will insist that Harry take at least one lover in the coming year to neutralize his protection from Murphy. Or it will be a marriage in name only and never consummated.
Dina:
Well, you know that I've been posting for years that I did not think Harry really loved Murphy. I mean, he cares a lot for her, and definitely loves her, but not LOVE her. Then PT happened, with a True Love that surprised me. And then, she died. So my idea is that, from a literary point of view, the only reason why JB included True Love is for giving Harry a protection from whampires. That way he can even be married with Lara and still not have sex with her. (Of course, something can happen that prevents the wedding for happening at all but anyway). It will also explain that Lara does not have sex with him during courtship.

Yeah, I had the same thoughts on the sudden realization of the protection. It was a quick fish to the face, suprising to be hit with it and wondering why you were hit with it.

Maybe one can feel true love without knowing it? Or does the true love have to be mutual for it to protect against the Hunger? It could be what Murphy felt for Harry was true love, that is what Nic was taunting her about in Skin Game as he beat the snot out of her. Harry did love her, but like he loved Susan? This time around he isn't allowing himself to go into a deep depression, he has a little girl to look after like he did when Susan left.
