Oh, I think that is perfectly plausible, although Harry seems to have 
grown up in an awfully big spurt.  The point, however, isn't whether 
it's plausible or not, IMO.  I think much (but certainly not all) of 
the controversy that came out of OOTP has to do with the implications 
of the themes, whatever frame of narrative development you place them 
in.
