Amey here:
I think Harry also breaks under pressure, except when it is not life and death situation. But I can't read OOtP and say that Harry is  fully matured yet. He still is placuing emotions before liogic. ("You shouldn't bottle your anger like that. Maybe a muggle one mile away hasn't heard you"-Fred/George, not exact quote). And remember him placing blame on Snape for Sirius' death. That is in my mind in the same league as twins' shouting at Sirius.

Amey:
You don't need a happy memory, just Happy thought. Seeing Sirius die would be enough for Snape to produce a perfect Petronus. Also, aren't we judging all his memories only on 2 we have seen? I mean Harry has seen 2 memories of Dumbledore, but thinking those are the only ones he has will definitely be improper.

Amey here:
I just thought of a dog used ot round up the ships or any flock here. Sorry, I think it is a totally unrelated thought.

Amey:
Remember what fake Moody says about AK? "You need a powerful bit of dark magic to work it. You can all point your wands at me and I won't get anything more than a nosebleed" (Sorry not exact quote). SO Tom at that age was able to produce not one but three (at least form what we know) perfect AKs. That's pretty much Dark Wizard for me.

Amey:
Harry can't the jinx on the job as according to Hgrid and Dumbledore, the change is going on for quite some time.



- James Lawlor
- How did Sirius order that Firebolt without giving himself away? How
-did he get the money out of his vault? And for that matter, how did
-Mrs. Weasley get money out of Harry's vault?

Amey:
If I remember right, Hagrid foes to Bank with Harry in SS/PS, and the Goblin just asks whether he has Key for Harry's vault. That's it, no identification needed. Also, as for Sirius, I am thinking of internet shopping.



And now, a totally different thought. What happens to 12,GP as Sirius is dead? If it is inherited by Lestranges or Malfoys, the Order loses Headquarters. Also, now that the last Black is dead, what happens to Kreacher? Is he free (horrible thought)? Or does he continue to serve whoever inherits the house? (I think Harry will inherit it)

Amey, thinking that Harry will move to 12,GP as his own house and we will see one more head on elves' line (Kreacher's)... Sorry Hermione...
