I was terrified they would desert me the moment they found out what I was. But of course, they, like you, Hermione, wourked out the truth.. And they didn´t desert me at all. Instead they did something for me that would make my transformations not only bearable, but the best times of my life. They became Animagi.(..)They couldn´t keep me company as humans, so they kept me company as animals. J.k. Rowling
About This Quote

In the first Harry Potter book, Harry felt as if his friends were abandoning him because they believed that he was a mere monster. However, it was eventually revealed that his friends were hiding their true identities to protect him and that they had been secretly dealing with the Dursleys. The idea of having friends who would not only accept you but also love you despite your condition and how it would be easier for them to keep their secret identities was enough to make Harry feel as if his friends were indeed his family.
