is very well intentioned, but she's certainly a terror... and I'm 
still counting her among the short list Harry is going to tell off 
rather convincingly in the nearer chapters of HPB. She deserves it!<<

HunterGreen:
But does she deserve it *from Harry*? She's the closest thing to a 
mother that Harry has ever known (Lily can't count because he barely 
even remembers her). And many of the things she's done to her own 
children (listed in the original post, like playing favorites) Harry 
hasn't had to experience. The worst thing I can think of her doing to 
him is when she tried to stop Sirius from telling him anything. And 
that, IMO, was something she did to *Sirius* (don't get me started on 
that either...). Yes, he did tell Ron and Hermione off several times 
in OotP, but that (for lack of a better way to put it) was because 
they're his friends. Meaning that they're the people he's the closest 
with, and therefore most comfortable airing his frustration on. (not 
really fair, I know, but I don't really blame Harry for it).
