First I would like to say that everyone has had really interesting 
things to say about this but I think there are two things that are 
missing.  1. While we can debate forever about Harry's guilt after 
Ced's death in GOF what about any guilt he might feel about Sirius's 
death in OotP?  If there is going to be something that is going to 
make Harry depressed I would say it will be this event, not Cedric.  
And if he was depressed before that it would not help anything at all.
2. However, I think that were forgetting that depression is actually 
a normal and healthy emotion.  Now, like anything else if it is 
uncontrolable that there's a problem but I don't think that Harry's 
sadness can be looked at like that.  I mean think about the events in 
his life... he actually handles it all incredible well.  Is Harry 
sad, yes.. is he angry, oh sure... but doesn't he have reason to be?  
I think that he's emotional outbursts are really very healthy and 
important to have if he's going to keep control of things.  Even DD 
says at the end of OotP that the fact that Harry can feel this way is 
he's biggest strength.  
Just hope that nobody feels that Harry is being unhealthy...

no one gets angry.  :)
