HP was originally intended, I believe, as a minor character. But PF made such an impression in that small role that the writers just kept giving HP more and more script time.

The "spooks" come and go, but Harry is the core that holds them all together.

Definitely - he holds it all together, he definitely has an impact on the team and on the series in general. They were right to have given him more and more screen time.
