Barmaid again:

I think you are being clear Alla!  And I agree that it would be 
disappointing if Harry was suddenly just fine, as if nothing bad has 
happened.  I also think this is very unlikely.  Harry was not *just 
fine* in OotP.  He was brooding and cranky and often unpleasant.  At 
the same time we may see him have to rise above his personal pain 
and shoulder forward.  And, if that does happen, I do not think that 
it will mean that his pain is being glossed over.  And I will not be 
disapointed in JKR if she does this, in fact everything in the books 
so far seems to suggest to me that this *is* what she will do.  I 
think she is very capable of making a complex situation where Harry 
continues to move forward, and continues to have hard emotions to 
deal with.

Alla:

No, I think you are being clear too. :o) I think our differences in 
opinion is in your sentence that if Harry will rise above his 
personal pain, you don't think that his pain is being glossed over. 
I am afraid that to me it could mean exactly that. Not necessarily, 
I think JKR CAN write it believably, but I am nervous.

I want Harry to get at least SOME help ( reasonably long in the book 
space), BEFORE he moves to saving the world.

I think it will be wierd, if he starts doing it right away.

JMO,

Alla
