  We use HST near-infrared imaging to explore the shapes of the surface
brightness profiles of bulges of S0-Sbc galaxies at high resolution. Modeling
extends to the outer bulge via bulge-disk decompositions of combined HST -
ground based profiles. Compact, central unresolved components similar to those
reported by others are found in ~84% of the sample. We also detect a moderate
frequency (~34%) of nuclear components with exponential profiles which may be
disks or bars. Adopting the S\'ersic r^{1/n} functional form for the bulge,
none of the bulges have an r^{1/4} behaviour; derived S\'ersic shape-indices
are <n> = 1.7 \pm 0.7. For the same sample, fits to NIR ground-based profiles
yield S\'ersic indices up to n = 4-6. The high-$n$ of ground-based profiles are
a result of nuclear point sources blending with the bulge extended light due to
seeing. The low S\'ersic indices are not expected from merger violent
relaxation, and argue against significant merger growth for most bulges.
