I called my friend up last night to ask her if she also thought that 
it was a form of PTSD too.  We're psych majors (i'm not done yet..13 
months and counting!) and she agrees with you completely that that 
one incident in graveyard could be enough to spark the angry Harry.  
And all that i was saying of causes for his anger were just his 
reactions having dealt with that incident.  She also added that Harry 
is also changing his view of the world.  Going from 14 to 15, just 
that time frame, a lot can go on in the teenage mind.  Feelings of 
rage, anger are different at that age than at 11 so that can also 
contribute.  She thinks JKR did that on purpose because of the age, 
although that i disagree with her.  We only get 7 years of Harry's 
life, it had to could come up somewhere!lol
