Alisha:
That's not at all what I'm saying.  The fact is, this isn't the 
information Harry seems to want.  He doesn't ever even think to ask 
why LV has tried to kill him.  He just wants to know what's going on
right now.  And, as far as we can deduce from the text, only a 
handful of /adult/ witches and wizards do (even his friends don't 
really know anything he couldn't have guessed for himself).  If this 
were the information that he was wanting, I would be applauding 
him.  It's about time he started wondering those things.  I could 
identify with that curiosity.  I know I'd like to know why a 
homicidal maniac was consistently targeting me.  But he's so caught 
up in Ron and Hermione being "where the action is" that he can't 
even figure out what it is he really does have a right to know.

Alisha - who wishes Harry could've been left alone to grow up into 
the really, really cool person he was starting to become.
