I seriously was not frustrated by that. He was so out of control and  
emotional that it was a lesson (which I think he will learn from)  
that gave him the biggest trouble. And Snape pretty much yelled that  
at him as he was fleeing. One of the biggest supporting arguments IMO  
for DDM!Snape. I think Harry has plenty of power, he just needs focus  
and I sense a "calm" at the end of the book which suggests he will  
find that.
