Very true.  Caps-lock!Harry almost vanishes when the DA lessons
start, largely because he now has something to do, and is suprised at
himself how much he's enjoying it.  

I think we're meant to compare Sirius and Harry in OOTP and see how
they react to the same situation: being left out of things, feeling
useless and frustrated, letting the angst build up inside.  Hermoine
found a solution for Harry, despite Harry's first opinion of the
idea.  Sirius's depression is what could have happened to Harry.
