I hate to go cross-series, but doesn't that sound very Return of the Jedi? As for his 
moodiness and withdrawal, as someone who works with teens, I have to say another 
book's worth of teen angst is about the only thing (aside from a huge sappy turn-around 
by Snape and/or Malfoy) that might make me even consider putting the series down. Well, 
maybe not... but I could do without quite so much of it!

Rebellion, maybe, but moping and sulking, ick.
