Patrick: 
I agree completely!  I also need to say that JKR BRILLIANTLY writes 
the whims and temperments of a 15 old!  As one who deals with 160 
14yr olds daily, I see this A LOT.  Negalleus said it best when he 
talks to Harry about (paraphrase) Why teenagers think they are the 
only ones who have ever FELT before.  It's the mentality...
