Me:
I agree with a lot of the points you raise and love your faith in the 
goodness of the good in the story. 

I'm intrigued to hear about what you think of Harry using the 
Cruciatus Curse at the end of OotP. I was stunned and saddened when I 
read Harry shout "Crucio" at Bellatrix in the Ministry. There has to 
be some huge consequences for him using it. I don't mean he's off of 
Azkaban of anything but surly using that Curse it the first dangerous 
step in the wrong direction.
