>>bboyminn:
Harry has been given a pathetic set of Dueling skills and
resources. If he had a full complement of Charms, Spells, Curses,
and Counter-Curses, and finely honed skills, he wouldn't have to
resort to Unforgivables. Given that all he has to work with are
schoolyard bullying jinxes and the Unforgivables with nothing
practical inbetween, they have really left Harry kind of
powerless. When schoolyard jinxes and curses aren't enough, Harry
has no were to go but to the dark and unforgivable. <<<
That's why I think, in spite of his statement at the end of HBP,
Harry will return to Hogwarts; there is a lot that he has to
learn, which he can only (or best) learn there. Aside from
anything else, he hasn't learned nonvocal spellcasting.
I do think that rather than coming back as a regular NEWTS
student, he'll come back as a 'special', taking a specially-
designed curriculum of group classes and private tutorials
tailored to his specific needs. Later, assuming that he and
the Wizardling establishment survive, he can go back and do
his NEWT-prep.
