Oh, no doubt about the first three. He could have probably talked about anything and make it seem reasonable. And anyone who snarked with Harry was, by necessity, extremely qualified in banter.

I could see Harry liked him. It fit. Harry acted like that too sometimes. Maybe. I never could tell half the time.
They went well together.
