Big, mean, and stupid, Harold is a few years older than the rest of the Arnold crew, because he was left back in school a few times. No one can trust him, either. So why is he part of the gang?
Maybe it's because it's not too hard to get Harold on your side--for a little while, anyway. The next day, he'll probably come back and beat you up. Or taunt you by saying your name over and over and over again in baby-talk.
Still, Harold is showing signs-faint ones-of becoming a nicer person. But until he stops being a complete jerk, maybe it's best to say he is one of Arnold's friends, but not a loyal friend. Bully with a soft side? Time will tell.
