kchuplis:

Agreed. capslock!Harry is all about frustration, tension and not being 
allowed the information he feels might give him some control over a 
situation that he (quite rightfully IMO) feels that he is closest to 
and certainly knows about better than many of those in the Order.

Grief and Harry is a much more private thing. He has always fought 
against a show of grief (it seems to me) in overt ways. It is more like 
it is something SO big, he has no way to express it in words, so he 
shuts down. I felt this was all very clear in JKR's writings.
