Oh I so agree with your sentiment. There is a fine line between the
accurate and necessary portrayal of the scope of human emotion and
melodrama. I vote for JKR trying a little harder to give the full
scope of his emotions a voice. And I vote for her giving him a few
more people with which to connect in a real way. I was so grateful
for his talk with Luna. It was the only healing water in a desert of
pain. If JKR's diffidence continues, it's quite possible Harry will
lose some of the believability he's had. In terms of all the loss
he's had to deal with, this area is definitely on the restreained
side. Maybe this is a bigger challenge to her because she's endured
loss. I hope she goes for it.
