Juli:
I agree with you, if he's overcome his grief by
chapter 1 or 2 or 3 it's just lame, I mean you can't
recover from a close death so soon.

But whose B-day? AFAWK, there are only 5 birthdays
during the summer: Dudley (June 23th according to
lexicon), Harry (July 31st), Neville (July 30th),
Ginny (August 11th), and Percy (August 22nd). Dudley's
birthday is out of question, why would Harry be happy
for his cousin's birthday? Then comes Neville, They've
never been too close for Harry to be invited over for
his birthday (even if his Grandmum let him have a
party), Harry's birthday has never been to joyful
anyway, then there's Ginny, but it's too late in the
summer and also Percy's (And I doubt Harry would even
care). According to the Lexicon Timeline, In OoP Harry
left the Dursleys on August 6th, so in HBP he'll leave
before August 6th. This leaves me with only two
possible birthdays: Neville and Harry himself. And my
vote goes to Harry. For once in his life he will have
a nice birthday, his friends will give him presents
and cake and he'll be happy, well as happy as you can
be after a loved one has gone.

I really liked the idea someone posted a few months
ago about the Samhain (message 116646)according to the
Celtic myth were the spirits on Halloween can cross
over to the living word, and since Sirius was *alive*
when he crossed the veil he could actually return.
Anyways, this is on Halloween, long after the few
weeks he'll spend at Privet Drive.

I agree, only then would this experience provide Harry
with some growth.

Me too ;)
