Well, good that kittykat asked, so it's clear now - guess she was not the only one who wondered 

I am named after many Harriets - John's sister just one of them 

Some others:
Harriet Vane, of course 
Harriet M. Welsch 
Archduchess Harriet/Archduke Harry 

Thanks, dear!  It says so much about their future relationship, all in the very first minutes...
- and see, we are back to topic already 

... but what he does in fact is more or less just adjust one pillow

A teeny bit eager to appear more acceptable to his new potential flat mate, but absolutely clueless about how to go about it. *smile*  That is so Sherlock!  He's the guy who just lets anything fall out of his mouth, regardless of who he's speaking to or what in heck he's saying or who he might insult, but on the other hand, he listens to John when John chastises him for being so rude. "A bit much?"  lol

 

You're absolutely right!

That's one of the wonderful things in the show - John becoming Sherlock's moral/behavioral compass very quickly. "Not good?" "Sherlock. Timing."  

Exactly! They bond right from the start , honestly, I love seeing that kind of connection between two men, deep friendship or otherwise...not something you see often on television or in movies, which is sad. Anyway, I just recently watched A Study In Pink (again ) and I could not help but smile and laugh at Sherlocks behaviour and his reactions to John or simply when John is around, priceless

Something the BBC is very good at and at which the American TV writers suck the suckage of a black hole when they even try. Sigh.

The husband and I are watching Doc Martin on PBS, a BBC show from a few years ago, and the characterizations are priceless, the acting superb, the directing subtle and spot on. We just sit there mesmorized by it. Funny, because my husband can't stand Sherlock, won't watch it, but for some reason, he accepts Doc Martin's bristly hedgehog no-bedside-manners doctoring. Doc Martin and Sherlock's personalities have much in common!  Anyway, BBC does that so well, bringing us into their characters' lives and making us care.

And back to S/J, well Sherlock let John in right from the get-go, didn't he. Let him into his life, into his flat, into his heart.  What a joy to watch. *happy sigh*

 

I know right? Ugh, it's one of the reasons why I hardly watch any American TV, overall I much prefer British TV. BBC has some great stuff, I mean come on, they got Sherlock! I will ALWAYS love them for that 

And yeah, Sherlock did let John in, and vice versa...that says something, whether you believe in destiny or not, I think it would be very difficult to deny that there is some manner of destiny there between the two of them. It is beautiful and awesome to see

Well said!

I agree! John and Sherlock are a perfect match! ;D

They sure bicker like a married couple!
