Demetra:
I agree with you, Jen.  I know many people have posted that they 
think that Harry will be even more angry in Book 6, but I disagree.  
I think that the conversation with Luna was the turning point for 
Harry.  I don't have my book with me, but I think that after the 
scene at the train station where the members of the Order confronted 
Vernon it even says that Harry felt better.  Then he leads the way as 
he leaves with the Dursleys.  I think this all points to a less 
emotionally volatile Harry who is more accepting of his situation.
