In GoF, Harry stays very strong and does not break down and cry.
Let me set the stage:
"Mrs. Weasley set down the potion down on the bedside table, bent down, and
put her arms around Harry. He had no memory of ever being hugged like this,
as though by a mother. The full weight of everything he had seen that night
seemed to fall in upon him as Mrs. Weasley held him to her. His mother's
face, his father's voice, the sight of Cedric..." (American edition) It
seems to me that Harry wants to cry and vent his emotions about what has
just happened to him but is fighting it.
The question is:
When do you think Harry will actually break down and cry about the situation
he has been placed in? He has had an enormous amount of stress for a
child/teenager should have to endure. My thought, when Dumbledore
sacrifices his life to save Harry may be a breaking point for him.
