I was just surprised Harry didn't get angry much sooner.In the last 
5 years at school 3 of Harry's teachers had tried to kill him and 
another teacher removed all the bones in his arm and attempted to 
erase his memory and turn him into a vegetable. I have found that 
when my mother, father and godfather get murdered, and I have to cut 
my hand open and write with my own blood, and bitten by a spider the 
size of a small elephant and then I get tied to a tombstone and 
tortured so horribly I want to die, I tend to get a bit grumpy. But 
perhaps that's just me, perhaps I'm just ill tempered by nature.

There is another reason I don't think your theory is correct, the
theory that Harry's bad mood is due to Voldemort messing directly 
with his mind; it just wouldn't make a very interesting story if
his anger and grief turned out to be Voldemort pulling strings. 
Canned grief in a tragedy is as unworthy as canned laughter in a 
comedy. I think at some point in the next 2 books it will all
starts to become too much and Harry will come very close to turning 
evil; he will certainly be tempted. It would be far more interesting 
than another Voldemort mind trick, and that's why I think Rowling 
will make it happen.
