This is my first time here (although I have been reading these posts
for quite some time)...

I completely agree...I know this is fictional, but any teenager that
goes through torture and witnesses death is bound to have to go into
trauma counselling and would possibly suffer from Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder for years.  I actually think that Harry wasn't at all
as angry as he should or could have been.  There has been no support
at all in regards to what HArry has experienced, the only release I
can remember was when he cried on Molly's shoulder in the hospital
ward of Hogwarts.  
I think his venting is very real (if anything I think he should vent a
bit more) and justified.  
I do think that he will need to learn to control his anger (but mainly
because otherwise LV will be able to access control of Harry alot
better when he is).  
Occlumency reminds me of learning how to meditate...because one of the
first steps you learn is to clear all your thoughts, and it can be 
really hard to do if you are angry or upset...
I like Heather the Buzzard's idea of LV inheriting some of Harry's love and loyalty...that would be very interesting!
