Tonks:
We discussed this topic some time ago (in late fall) and I and others 
posted at that time all of the criteria for making such a diagnosis. I 
can try to look for the post, but I understand that these can be very 
difficult to find in yahoomort. Basically Harry fits the DSMIV criteria 
for making that diagnosis, such as nightmare, flashbacks, irritability, 
hyper-vigilance, etc. I think that JKR has done a very good job of 
protraying someone with that diagnosis.
