Alla:

Maybe that's the point? I mean we agree, right that for six and a half 
books  Harry is well developed, flawed, imperfect, etc.

It is not like he  is Indiana Jones during 7 books, no? It is only one 
third of the book and it is the last book, he does need to get much 
better and become someone who is able to finish the quest and 
sacrifice himself.

What I am trying to say is that it makes sense to me that during last 
part of last book, Harry is much better at serving puzzles and stuff, 
because this IS the last book?

I still do not see him as perfect in general here, IMO.

Like if we go to Luke from Star Wars, he does do some amasing stuff in 
the Return of Jedi, no?

But he had not even finished his training yet and he becomes Jedi 
because of what he did, yes? Not just what he learned and Harry sort 
of matures in action, no?

JMO,
