  But this is where my major point comes in....he DIDN'T THINK!!!!  IMHO, I 
  think the whole point of this Sirius/Harry/MOM mess is that Harry behaved 
  in an impetuous, rash headed manner, and managed to cause the death of the 
  only person close to being family that he had. I think the point of this 
  chapter is to point out to us that Harry is far from omnipotent, he doesn't 
  have all the answers, he doesn't know everything, and through being 
  passionate and reckless, everything goes pear shaped. >snip<

  I so agree. When you look at all the heroic events that Harry has done...you see how well he has succeeded. Even though he had help, he was beginning to get pretty good at that saving thing. I think he "did" enjoy it somewhat. The only reason he was able to produce a Corporeal Patronus was because he thought of losing Sirius. So with that mindset, he wasn't going to give up on saving Sirius. I think adrenaline took over and he didn't "THINK" -like you said. JKR always wants to remind us, that even though these people can do "magic" they are still Human Beings. And Human Being Teenagers are in a class by themselves. Magic or not!!!!
