I think we are seeing Harry going through the five psychological
stages of death. He has seen one, now another. Anger is one of
those stages. He's had no one to talk about this with, he hasn't
been able to confide in anyone. Anger is one of the easiest to get
to, because it's so accessible for so many people.
Add this in to the fact that really, he felt abandoned over the
summer, and there is going to be anger. He was also scared. But no
15 year old wants to admit fear, or feel fear, and it is often
translated into anger.
He is lashing out at everything, because he can't really help it. He
needs help to get through this, and no one is helping him. DD isn't,
Sirius isn't really "talking" to him about it, Ron and Hermione
aren't. Mrs Weasley is like a mother to him, but he doesn't know how
to relate to that.
He is showing signs of Post Traumatic Stress. I'm sure that there
will be a lot of other emotions in the next two books, but he'll make
it. And I think that next summer, he'll have more people from the
wizarding community that he can confide in. (Or Moddy'll go after
the Dursley's- which would be worth the price of the book tee hee)
