Heh...according to the "Behind the Magic" DVD, Han was literally created with NF in mind -- while fleshing out the character, Lucas thought about HF's cynical, wisecracking demeanor on the set of "American Graffiti."
And as lp said, HF is and pretty much always has been grumpy. At Celebration 2, when Anthony Daniels interviewed Carrie Fisher, Daniels mentioned what a grouch HF is. She agreed he's a grouch, "but we love him anyway."
Although that last is probably not true for Daniels, who refers to HF as "the movie star," NOT meaning it as a compliment. I don't suppose his encounter with HF at a restaurant a few years ago, where he'd gone over to say hello and HF mistook him for a waiter, did much to endear HF to him either.
