"Some won't like it"

Frankly I do not understand the people who didn't like Harry in the 
OOP book. And I am shocked by that, in fact. My god, the kid has 
been though more than most adults in a lifetime. What do people want 
to see him do instead?  Take drugs, kill himself or something?  He 
is angry, good!  He has, as I have said before, PTSD and I would not 
think that JKR was any good as a writer if Harry didn't show some 
signs of that after everything that happened in the graveyard. 

All in all I think that Harry, with the help of DD and Molly at the 
end of GOF and his friends in OOP, has come through it all rather 
well. I also think that we are going to see Harry come to the 
breaking point in HBP and as Lupinlore said some won't like it.  But 
I say to them "watch, listen and learn". I think that JKR is a great 
teacher. And she is teaching about life and how to live it and how 
to handle the ups and downs without becoming LV in the process. I 
also think that the fact that the books are "children's" books give 
us all a chance to listen and learn without feeling talked down to.  
I know that I have learned a lot from watching Harry and listening 
to the wisdom of DD.  Whatever our age there is something that we 
can take away from the books that will make us a better person.

There is a time for everything under heaven, as the saying goes. And 
this means there is a time to cry, to scream, to swear, to be angry, 
and all of us must (if we are *real*) sometimes have to say that we 
are sorry to even our closest friends. I think that JKR has done an 
excellent job of portraying a mentally health young man on his way 
to become a truly great human being. But first, things are going to 
get rather ugly in the next book. I would expect it.  He might even 
have thoughts of turning to the dark side, but he won't.
