Anyone Else Surprised or Disappointed That Harry
Mira:
If he wasn't contacting either Murphy or Thomas much when he was on the island, says he wasn't. He was also trying to understand the system, and had this thing in his head that caused him lots of pain to the point of passing out. So a lot of reasons, for him not to contact her, when she ignored him, he seemed to understand, and from then on he simply called her the Archive.
Bad Alias:
I can only think of a few reasons for him to have not contacted her.
1. He didn't consider his actions impact on her.
2. He did and was avoiding owning up to it.
3. He assumed she knew he was alive because she's the Archive and didn't think he needed to say anything.
I don't think any of these reflect well on Harry. I don't think that his plate was full was an excuse. He had plenty of time to write her a quick note. I do understand why he would avoid it. Shame is a powerful emotion.

I don't think it ever occurred to him that he meant that much to Ivy. However if you believe Luccio, the fact that Harry didn't write to her, which could be called distancing himself, would be the best for Ivy. Also in the settings they were in, the Archive is seen and must be seen as a neutral force, so even saying "hi" to Harry could be misinterpreted as favoritism by other Accord members.

Harry was isolated from Chicago for a year when Mab would not let him contact anyone, and he was pretty busy the rest of the time, Ivy isn't someone he saw every day, nor Kincaid, so how would he know?

Not true, but thank you :)
That is what I meant, Mira. Of course he has not way to know unless he called her or something. I just meant that he does not know what happened between I and K, not that he did not care or anything. Only that he did not know.
But about the rest of the comments, I may understand Harry being isolated of some friends but Ivy is the worse case. I see no reason not to write her a note every few weeks. I mean, it is true that perhaps he did not realize how that would be important for Ivy, but that makes him well, not very bright, and frankly insensitive.

I think SmF says otherwise.

Again, I think SmF shows Harry disagrees.

I'm not talking about them interacting at the peace talks. I'm talking about Harry never saying anything to her after he came back from the dead.
