There's an apostrophe battle brewing among grammar nerds. Is it Harris' or Harris's? (www.mprnews.org)

"Harris" isn't plural, so "Harris's" is correct. I hereby threaten to bite anycritter who has a problem with this 😝

Yeah I don't get the confusion either. I was taught in school pretty plainly that " s' " is only used on plural words that end in S. So it would always be "Harris's".
