Hi,
New here so I think my first post might not have gone on because
of no OOP in the title. Any way here goes.

Does anyone else feel that Harry's acceptance of Sirius' death is way
out of character for him? I mean Harry's nothing if not curious and
questioning, yet at no point does he ask what the arch thing is, or
what it does, or how it works, or how they definately know beyond
doubt that Sirius is dead. Sirius simply falls through a veil, theres
no sign of violence and yet just because he doesn't come back and
Lupin says so Harry immediately accepts he's dead and runs after the
death eater. Surely if Harry's learnt anything at Hogwarts it's that
nothing is as it first seems. And surely he would have at least
thought of these questions later, if he had time to think of
approaching Sir Nick?
Shouldn't someone be even just a tiny bit concerned that Harry has
used an unforgivable curse? I mean at the start of the book Harry is
nearly expelled (from distance) within like 10 mins of producing a
Patronus, yet no one bats an eyelid at him using the Cruciatus curse!
(Yes, I know the "victim" deserved it) but all the other books have
given the distint impression that the good guys always tried to
capture the enemy and would never resort to the unforgivable curses
because they're well, unforgivable.
If you get expelled for using Magic outside Hogwarts (Self Defence
Excepted)How do they always get away with jinxing Malfoy and his
cronies on the train home?
Lastly who won the House Cup? I know it's trivial and Harry's not
that bothered because of his loss. But his disinterest could have
been used to highlight his grief.
Istill thought it was a great book, just that the ending left too
many fundamental questions unanswered.
