Me:
The moment towards the end of GOF when Harry's feelings about all 
that has happened begin to overtake him and he wishes that Ron would 
look away. Molly Weasley hugs him and he obviously wants to have a 
good bawl.

This is something I have known in the past when I've wanted to let 
everything out and the wretched "stiff upper lip - boys don't cry" 
which is often drummed into UK lads gets in the way.

I felt so sorry for HP here, caught between the two extremes.
