I personally identify most with Harry. In fact, I still can't
understand why people didn't like Capslock!Harry in OOTP. Because I
completely bought into his frustration and felt it alongside him.
When I got online to see what other people thought about the book, I
was shocked to see so many people who didn't like Harry in that
book. I honestly thought he didn't go far enough in his anger. Never
once in the book was I ever angry at him. I was only ever angry on
*behalf* of Harry. I feel such strong emotions that I have only
ever read OOTP one time. I just get too angry over all of the adult
characters letting Harry down to reread the book. I can see all the
mistakes coming and it just kills me.
There is nothing in this world that gets to me more than
helplessness and when I read Order of the Phoenix, I just feel
Harry's helplessness too much to enjoy it. I hope HBP has a more in
the loop!Harry because I can't handle another book of DD talking
down to him.
