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.
