The phrase "Here's to Harry" does require an apostrophe in "here's." This is because "here's" is a contraction of two different words, here and is, where the apostrophe takes the place of the missing space and the missing i from is. The "here" that "is" (being offered) to Harry in this phrase is not explicitly stated but is understood by the context to be, for example, an honoring by a "toast." Without the apostrophe, we would have heres, which is not the word meant in this phrase. (Heres is actually a legal term meaning "an heir.")
