In response to the following partial post, referring to Harry's 
attempted use of an unforgivable curse:  

*quote*
...If anything, I'm surprised it didn't work better. Harry does have 
something of a mean streak, which could easily become sadistic (if it 
can't be classified as such already)...
*end quote*

now me:
Excuse me??? I just had to come to Harry's defence here. How can 
anyone say that he has a mean(or sadistic streak)in him? So he tried 
an "unforgivable" curse on Bellatrix...I for one was cheering him on 
and I am neither mean nor sadistic! For just one tiny moment place 
yourself in the shoes of a highly emotional fifteen year old Harry 
who just saw someone extremely dear to him happily murdered by a 
death eater (on top of all the other stuff he has had to endure since 
he entered the maze in GOF and all through OOTP). IMO, JKR did a 
splendid job with Harry's various reactions and emotions throughout 
the book...He feels, cares, loves, doubts and suffers more than 
anyone else and this, to me, is what makes Harry's character so very 
wonderful and complex...both heartwarming and heartbreaking and 
certainly extremely endearing. He had to be angry after what happened 
in book 4, and even more so at the end of book 5!
I agree with those of you who have posted that they believe there 
will be a good life for Harry after Voldermort...he certainly 
deserves to be happy!
