    Honestly, I didn’t like the portrail of Harry’s and Tom’s friendship either. Harry often plays second fiddle to Tom - most vividly in the holonovels. Tom is usually the main character while Harry is playing the sidekick. It never felt to me like they were seeing eye to eye.

      Paris was frequently condescending to Harry early on, though it did taper once he was more assertive.

      I mean, yeah, that’s a deliberate part of their relationship. I think Harry complains about having to always be the sidekick at one point, and their friendship does evolve over the course of the show. Harry gets him back sometimes, or his cool head prevails. But mostly Harry is just there to suffer like O’Brien lol
