Wow, Bod leaving... now there's a concept Harry (nor I) hadn't considered.

But who could blame him?

The fact that he sees Harry as a master first and not a friend troubles me. But I think you're probably spot on again.

Still, I wish it was the other way around...

Course, you have to be wondering what Bob is thinking about when he says this... Like Harry, maybe he's hiding his true feelings?

One can only hope! On to part three!
