"Somewhere in the structure of the heroic tale is that there is *one* 
crisis. In HP I believe it is the graveyard scene."

There is a breakthrough experience for those who are going to face 
danger.  In the American Civil War, there was an expression for it: 
you'd "seen the elephant."  But that doesn't necessarily translate 
into that experience being "the worst" that's going to happen.

Harry may well not see anything so grotesque as the graveyard scene 
again.  But if he has to watch Dumbledore die, or one of the Trio die, 
or watch Hogwarts being decimated, I'm pretty sure how he'd answer the 
question "What's the worst thing that's happened in this war?"
