SSSusan:
Good question.  I suppose it could just be Harry's perspective and 
that Ron didn't feel the same, but I admit that I took it to mean it 
was true for them BOTH.

I know there have been times in my life when I've been either angry 
at someone or fretting that they're angry with me...or when we have 
actually exchanged words...but once it's been made right or the air's 
been cleared, it does feel like everything's back to normal.  That's 
how I took this here--that things were suddenly so right again that 
the intervening weeks didn't matter any more.
