Thoughts on Harry Potter 7 scene

[Bob S.]

Note, there will be no major spoilers for Deathly Hallows.

I was just reading a scene in Deathly Hallows where six members of the Order drink Polyjuice Potion to all become Harry. What was interesting in that is that, upon morphing into Harry, they all put off their modesty and all removed their clothes out in the open (in a house) in order to dress like Harry.

I just thought that was interesting and that Harry was a bit put off by their lack of respect for his modesty even though they would see him naked individually as they each got dressed separately.

That's an interesting observation. The privacy paradox is that although Harry would like his privacy, his body is now their body and can't be hidden. The bottom line is that Harry would have to get past it and realize that he does not need to be insecure about himself, his body is not any different than anyone else, and his friends don't really make any issue of it.

This leap in moving past our personal privacy insecurities are what separates Naturists from Textiles.
