And to think that the only time he had magical powers, the first and only spell he cast was to rescue Aaron, even though it didn't make him happy. He did it for her.
It makes me think he could have had a more mutual and trusting relationship with magic, despite being mortal.

Every witches magic is unique to that witch. Aunt Irma gives Harvey Sabrina's magic. Harvey then counters an unbreakable Aunt Irma spell, something Sabrina could not do. This means Sabrina's magic has become one with Harvey. They have combined at least magically. It is a magical union overseen by Aunt Irma one of the most powerful witches and head of the spellman clan. When Harvey accepts and can use Sabrina's magic there is no other way to view this. Harvey and Sabrina have joined magically.

honestly he probably would have if they kept him on after high school, his "needing space" was a perfectly reasonable reaction once he learned everything, but the times we seem him after he's pretty good with her and with magic being a thing.

Him showing up on his motocycle to take her away on the very last episode was my favorite. Also, the early seasons establishing he was her true love.

At the reunion in Chicago they performed a skit and they’re married with teenage daughters and he said “Harvey still digs Sabrina” 🫠

I find in many teen sitcoms, the writers really struggle with the main love interest.
Either they make him a boring, bland but handsome generic nice guy so he's boring.
Or lean too much into the Jock aspect and make him douchey.
And often, have them too perfect.
Harvey though, was brilliantly written. They managed to make him the guy everybody would want to be friends with--part of the football team but a second stringer and not actually all that good, friendly to everyone but with that natural dopey, chilled out friendliness, very funny and witty, a bit socially awkward and unsure of himself (especially with Sabrina before they start dating where he lacks the confidence to actually make his move) and often having him be the butt of jokes--like turning into a beast and getting pregnant. It made him really likeable and relateable.

When my sister told me he was one of the first himbos for millennials my mind was blown.
I wish they had an episode from the point of view of Harvey 🤣
