Oh dear!  I didn't mean that he would remain angry and depressed 
through the whole of book 6.  I do believe that Harry, who is really 
quite intelligent will begin the story in book 6 that way.  But with 
the help of his friends and mentors will move beyond that.  He is 
still a child after all.  But he will really begin to mature and 
understand who he is and what he is going to accomplish.

Understandably, he will probably rebel against what he thinks he has 
to do, but by the end of the story, we will see Harry with a resolve 
and understanding of what might happen.  I believe book 6 will be 
where Harry comes to terms with DD and what he did.  We will see a 
more mature relationship with DD.  And Harry will learn to deal with 
his own guilt, for I believe while he still blames Snape, he still 
thinks it was partly his own fault that Sirius died.  

This story will be the set up for the final showdown in Book 7.  The 
last story will be filled with adventure, tension, tragedy, comedy; a 
whole gamut of emotions and action.  It should be a rip roaring 
read.  At least I hope so.  I finally realize what anticipation is.

D - I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!
