Because "home" is just a folder; your home directory. It doesn't have its own capacity.
Not quite. See the icon? He just named his hard drive "Home" -- it's not his home folder.
This may be related to an issue I reported to Apple back when 10.3 was first released. The number under the icon for free space never updated on the desktop if you emptied the trash. I'm away from my OS X computer now (on a lowly OS 9 machine), but I'll look into this when I'm there next.
yeah, lot of people had noticed what I mentioned is a Panther's Finder bug which had been discovered from the beginning of its release.
To my situation, that HOME icon is not a folder, if it is, then that will show the objects contained in that folder instead of the total capacity of my harddrive, and the point is there is no free space info displayed beside the 37,25GB.

I couldn't (and apparently now can) access any of his pictures he uploaded, so I didn't see the icons when I was replying and was just presuming he was talking about the home folder. Sorry.

I should say sorry, the piture hosting server is not stable.
I've had this happen once. Look at the ownership and permissions of the volume. I'm quite sure this harddrive doesn't belong to your user/group, but rather the system or something. That's what happened to me. The main drive should belong to 'system', group 'admin' and owner and group should have read/write access. You can probably solve this by repairing permissions and turning off and on the 'show info' thingie.
