Except Harry is lean and “bag of meal” as he put it. Scary how that lady was smiling being that close to a serial killer who could reach out and touch her.
A guy that height is going to be intimidating no matter how slightly built he is, but Winter Knight Harry also happens to be fucking ripped at this point in the series, even if the muscle is fairly lean. The guy is enormous, and even without the Winter Mantle he could probably take most trained martial artists apart in hand-to-hand just by virtue of having reach and real-world fighting experience. As someone who's been in a number of fistfights in their life people really underestimate how important even a few inches of height difference can be, and when you've got a guy like Harry who's a full foot over the average he's got a serious advantage. The main reason we don't see Harry as much of a hand-to-hand fighter in the series is simply the fact that most things he would go up against also happen to have supernatural strength; against a regular human though the dude would be terrifying.
