I just did Harry on the LJ side, so I'll copypasta my answers from over there!
1. OH HARRY. I adore him SO MUCH. It's hard to create a protagonist that can carry a really long, first-person series without becoming stale or repetitive or uninteresting, but Harry is a character who can do it. I love his narrative voice, his snarkiness, his outward shell of sarcasm and devil-may-care over a very vulnerable heart. He's marvelous.
2. Mmmm ... on the re-read, I actually found myself being drawn towards Harry/Murphy, which surprised me because I was really resistant to the idea when I was going through the books the first time. I don't think I'm seriously OTP-ish about them -- that is, I'd be just fine if they stayed friends and got together with other people, but I also find them pretty cute and I think I'd be plenty happy if they end up together. Otherwise, I don't think any of Harry's liaisons have really floated my boat, and I don't really ship him with anyone.
3. Harry and Thomas. :) :) :) They are SO CUTE TOGETHER, there aren't even words. I love their banter and their mutual protectiveness and the way that for both of them, their first reaction to finding out they were related wasn't resistance but instead "We're family, so let's act like it". I stubbornly maintain that they're going to work out their differences and become close again eventually. (Really. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
4. Unpopular opinions ... well, the fandom seems to like pairing him with Marcone, and while I'm normally pretty mellow about rolling with oddball pairings, that one makes me go "Wait, WHAT?" I just ... can't see it, I guess.
5. Er, my #1 wish for what I want to see with Harry is probably quite easy to guess after reading Changes (DON'T DIE, HARRY!), but otherwise, I also really want to see him reconciled with Thomas. And I want him to be able to have a role in his daughter's life. Mostly, I just want to see the poor guy get some happiness and stability at the end of the series, even if Butcher's got a lot more torture in store for him before then. *g* He's earned a happy ending more than any other character I can think of.
