Karen:
Is it really murder to defend oneself against an attack? Or is it 
murder when both people are involved in a battle? I think that one 
of the reasons for Harry's anger in OOP is to set up the anger he 
will have to channel against Voldemort. I expect in the 6th book we 
will see Harry working hard to prepare himself against a coming 
battle. His pain at losing Sirius will be refocused on Voldemort. He 
will still be angry with Snape, but somewhere along the line, they 
will have to come to terms. My expectation is that he will still be 
consumed with anger, but Voldemort (and by extension, Bellatrix) 
will be his target. Harry's suspicions of Snape may keep him 
misdirected, but eventually, he will understand Dumbledore's 
confidence in Snape.
