>Well, it seems that what Harry has to learn now is control, isn't 
it? And by that, I mean control of his connection with Lord V. I 
just assumed that the use of the cruciatus curse was part of the 
hatred that also flashed into him at other times...and the rising 
anger and nastiness that is bubbling up. Yes, it is pychologically 
interesting and feasible that Harry is angry (he is fifteen!), but 
doesn't it seem like that was a bit of Voldy slipping in? I think we 
are going to see a lot more of Harry struggling to rid himself of 
the feelings, emotions, and responses that would be more natural for 
You-Know-Who.

ps. I just want to say that I am SOOOOOOO happy it wasn't Dumbledore 
who shuffled off this mortal coil... :)
