Yes--as I said above I think some of the stress within the Trio in Book 4 was because of Harry's ambivalence about taking the leadership role. Ron seems to me a born beta, but he can be aggressive when there's a power vacuum. And Hermione also seems far more suited to supporting Harry than being the leader herself.

I guess it's probably not surprising that the Slytherins naturally see Harry as the leader of Gryffindor and always have, despite his not accepting that role himself.
