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.


Alla:

Definitely. I was not angry at Harry either and I was also thinking 
that he was not angry nearly as much as he should be. I mean, sure, 
him getting into Snape Pensieve was very wrong, BUT I also honestly 
thought that Harry was pushed to such point of despair by Dumbledore 
keeping him "out" that all disasters in that book could have been 
avoided , had they behaved differently. I am NOT absolving Harry of 
responsibility, nevertheless, I honestly think that he WAS wronged 
badly througout the book and there is only so much one sixteen year 
old can handle.

I also thought that Angry!Harry was very much needed for his 
character development, because I thought that he should have been 
much angrier at the earlier age because of his upbringing. 


I have to say though - I perfectly understand Del's being annoyed at 
Harry for being angry with Ron and Hermione, because they did not 
hurt him at all and did not deserve it, Nevertheless, I also think 
that if Harry had it in himself to forgive Ron after GoF, I see 
nothing horrible in Ron and Hermione patiently enduring Harry's 
temper, because that is what true friends do.

break his nose after five years of his c**p
