It's a very good point that people often forget or dismiss, but that I feel is often an underlying idea in many fics. Harry has handled attempts on his life, has seen two people die, lost beloved people, and has a crushing weight of a supposed 'destiny' on his shoulders. I don't think it's surprising that in looking at his sexuality, we feel able to cover more difficult situations than a few teenage fumblings (which have been covered by canon!).
