Harry is the Hadley family’s first nought driver. Sephy initially thinks that she and Harry have a close and trusting relationship, as she regularly asks him to drop her off a few blocks from school, and he often complies. But when he unwittingly ends up leaving Sephy to face the mob protesting Heathcroft’s integration alone, Mrs. Hadley immediately fires Harry. Sephy doesn’t know Harry was fired, though, and takes the new driver, Karl’s, word that Harry left voluntarily. Sephy only learns the truth about what happened to Harry when she attends Lynette’s funeral and discovers that Harry is actually extremely angry with Sephy and her family.
