You're getting straight to the heart of what mightily annoys me about 
Harry's personality : basically, because Sirius is the only one HE 
cares about, he also assumes that Sirius is the only one who cares 
for him and denies all the help and love others try to give him. 
That's so very egocentrist. I'm not saying it's abnormal, though, I 
remember being a teenager and thinking that everyone thought about me 
the way I thought about them (I fancy him so he should fancy me, I 
leave them alone so why don't they leave me alone, I don't like 
hanging around with her so why does she like being with me, etc...) 
But I feel like Phineas sometimes : teenagers can be such a pain !!

Quite a lot I'm sure. He did work hard and he's not stupid. I'm 
confident he did well.

> b) whats going to happen to the death eaters that were arrested 

What *could* happen to them ? Azkaban is unreliable, the MoM is in 
disarray. Feels like they are going to be parked somewhere until they 
can be judged. But will the MoM be able to find enough people to 
safely guard them ?

> c) whats going on in the summer 

One possibility : Harry and Aunt Petunia have a good long talk. Maybe 
Aunt Petunia got so mightily disturbed by what happened the year 
before that she had to talk to Vernon about it, and now Vernon wants 
to know more and will discuss things over with Harry ? Or it could 
also be Dudley, who was traumatized by his Dementor episode and 
turned into a good lad and worships Harry ? Hey, why are you all 
laughing :-) ? This IS Harry Potter, ANYTHING could happen !

I have this image of them *forcing* him to write every day, even 
though he's got nothing to tell :-)

In a few years, if they are still alive, that could very well happen.

You know, Harry doesn't have *that* much practical experience. I 
guess by now he's pretty much reached the end of his personal 
experience to tell to the DA and he needs books to teach him more 
spells. So I don't think he'd be fit to be a teacher yet.

> g) if Harry will even want to help anyone anymore 

For now he doesn't care about anyone anywhere as much as he cared for 
Sirius. He might still want to help, but not alone anymore, as part 
of a team.

I dunno. I guess he would have to deal with his grief, and accept 
people's love, before he can put an end to his outburts of anger. 
They are basically his safety valve, and also the only way he manages 
to express some strong and deep emotions he's keeping bottled up 
inside.

Just because she's useless now doesn't mean DD can throw her out like 
an old sock ! She's got a contract as a teacher.

> j) Syrius will come back as a singing sensation reincarnate.

As a singer, as a dog, as a flower, as a toilet seat, as a House-Elf 
(would serve him well ;-), as a wand core, as a flying broom, as 
ANYTHING, I don't care, but let him come back !!!
Except she said he won't... And if I'm still as lucky next time, 
Lupin will ne next...
