I'm going to have to agree with some of that, and sadly, cause I
hate taking this approach to things, take the middle road. The good
old truth lies somewhere in the middle.
He was a little hotheaded, and was rather irresponsible during the
battle. As only the dead are dumb enough to fight like he did,
saying nothing for why he was there.
Also, if he was so level-headed, he needed to better argue with
Molly, and the order, or ignore their 'decision' about Harry all
together and tell him something, like 'Big V know about the
connection soon.'
