>>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.
