But the biggest stress inducing factor of 5th year will have been removed: 
Umbridge and Fudge. Remove them (and the general feeling from the WW that Harry 
is a liar, an attention seeker ect) from the equation and 5th year would have 
been pretty much on par with the previous 4.

JKR said during the RAH reading that from now on that Harry would be 
believed. That itself takes a lot of the stress off.  The support of the WW, even if 
they are faceless readers of the Quibbler and Prophet will help as well. 

Additionally Sirius said that James wasn't a prefect, he never said that 
James wasn't HB. Hagrid said in PS/SS that James and Lily were HB/G and IMO that's 
a rather large thing for JKR to forget about.  So I do think that's where 
book 7 is heading. we'll know in about 4 - 5 years.
