Will these two stop it?? (was: Why should Harry be expected to listen...)

SSSusan:

So I wonder, now, how many of us have real hope [as in, believe it 
likely] that these too will reduce or end their stupid, childish 
power struggle?  



I'll go first.  I *do* believe there will be a truce of sorts, though 
I think there may be a Big Ugly Blow-up first.  And I suspect that 
it'll be Harry making the first move -- not likely an actual apology 
but just a decision to do whatever he has to do to make things work 
towards defeating Voldy.  If that means there are times he can stand 
up to Snape and argue with him, I'd like to see him do that, but I'm 
hoping he'll do some maturing such that he'll be able to control his 
temper in situations where that's required for safety, security or 
learning.  [As, for instance, he *couldn't* do in OotP when DJU got 
under his skin.]


Alla:

You know my position, I think. I want the truce to happen, but by no 
means I want Harry to be the only one taking efforts to make such 
truce, even though I suspect that this is exactly what is going to 
happen.

But before the truce I REALLY want to see the big blow out. REALLY. :)


JMO,
