My Thoughts:
I think it's really important for all of us to remember one really 
MAJOR thing.  Harry's a TEENAGER.  Teenagers get mad, and lash out.  
Besides the fact the entire wizarding world things he's looking for 
attention..and won't accept his statements as true.  I'm 26 and that 
would make me lash out.  How frustrating that must be.  If you 
remember at the end of the book...he is feeling better...sort of.  
He's not lashing out...he's mourning in his own teenage way.  
I actually think that Harry will be overly mature in the next two 
books...as though we are looking at someone who is in his 20s...he's 
been through a lot and was given some very sobering news that would 
age anyone instantly.
I've rambled enought.
