I am always for cutting Harry some slack (Surprise.:o))
Besides agreeing with you that he ahd a right to be angry, I am happy 
that he finally let those negative emotions out. It will help him 
grew emotionally and will probably heal his wounds in the long run. 

Come to think of it, after Cedric's death, Harry badly needed to talk 
to someone over the summer, to be reassurred over and over again that 
it was not his fault.

No, I am not expecting Dumbledore to sent Mind Healer from St. Mungo 
to Privet Drive :), although it would have been nice, but if he cared 
about Harry as much as he claimed could he I don't know at least ask 
Molly to come over and talk to Harry.

Unhealed trauma of Cedric's death alone would have been enough to 
send a child over the edge and Harry saw so much more pain.
