See, I didn't think there was any outside influence - just all that 
pent up fifteen year old boy stuff.  The scene where he started 
breaking Dumbledore's stuff was really powerful for me because it just 
showed a teenage boy who had been pushed too far.  My heart absolutely 
went out to Harry.  His behavior throughout the book just resounded 
with me, to be honest, I wasn't surprised a bit that she took him in 
this direction.

I was also very interested in the reactions of his friends and other 
people around him to his sullen attitude.  Hermione seemed to handle it 
in an extremely mature fashion, especially, but Ron seemed to deal with 
it a lot worse.  Dudley seemed very weirded out by Harry's sudden 
aggressiveness.  I'm interested to see what happens in future books, 
especially after  Harry and Dumbledore had a big of a falling out in 
OoP...
