 I felt the same - when Sirius died, Harry is desperately trying to 
get to him afterwards then goes after Nearly Headless Nick.On his 
return to the Dursleys, he wallows in gloom, refusing meals.  He 
certainly seems to have matured a lot since then. 
 when you look at his approach to DD's death.  After Snape killed 
DD, Harry,  instead of yelling and trying to get to his mentor, went 
after Snape

I think the only difference is that Harry didn't want to believe 
that Sirius was actually dead. With Dumbledore he knew that he was 
dead because the spell was broken. Then on both accounts he wanted 
to kick some butt.  Harry didn't get redemption, but he will in the 
end in my head. Harry is not going to let them get away with 
anything.  He's going for blood shed.  Harry knows from the time 
before that once you're dead you are dead. Also Harry has seen three 
people die in three years in a row. He may know how to cope with 
loss better. Loss has been part of his whole life.
