That's not terrible, that's just normal.  Indeed if they're not 
stressful there's probably something missing.  The better it is, the 
more you value it, and the more little things become important, and 
the more scope there is for stress.

Ron would not have been very angry with Harry over the Goblet if they 
weren't close friends; and if he had been angry, it wouldn't have 
mattered very much to Harry.
