"Harry is still having nightmares about graveyard. If that is not the
 sign of guilt, I don't know what is."

Del replies :
I'm not a psychological expert, but I most definitely wouldn't
interpret nightmares as exclusively a sign of guilt !

"She posted very interesting essay about non-existance of psychiatric
 and psychological help in the WW and I tend to agree.

Many people through the books seem to need it, but after seeing the 
death of the classmate Harry is a very good candidate for that."

Del replies :
*sigh* I agree, I agree completely !! Harry, Cho, Neville, Sirius, are
just a few examples of some people who are in dire need of counseling.
But as that poster said, and as I said myself in earlier posts, the WW
doesn't seem to be aware of psychological problems, nor does it seem
to do anything to help people with mental problems. Which is a pity
really, considering that they seem to have potions that make our best
medicine look like candies.
