He is too grounded in reality and practicality for that. I still like the character definition that PF gives when he says that Harry is a pugilist for the state but he's a lover not a fighter. Everything he does he does, even the horrifically brutal stuff, out of his general affection and regard for others: love for his country, love for his team, love for idea of democracy, love for the greater good, and, in the end, love for Ruth.

Hmm, so you are saying that being a lover is different to being a romantic A Cousin? Harry does have a great capacity to love, that is for sure, and needs/wants love himself.
