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
