Harry's a late bloomer, and he doesn't have any sexual figures around him to induce fantasy.

He did read all of the books he's not supposed to.

I'm not as smart as fictional Harry, but I knew at a younger age that books about sex (e.g. sex-ed texts intended for an adolescent audience, when I was several years from it) were books that some adults would prefer I not get into.
