Alla:

Actually, I really  really doubt that Snape knows anything about 
that.  I have a feeling that we will learn that in the past Snape 
did exactly that - stopped wearing his heart on his sleeve (I of 
course agree that Snape little speech in OOP was about him), but I 
do think that it did not do Snape much good, in a sense that he did 
not act on his best emotions when he should have done so.

Don't ask me about details of course :)

I am convinced that to win Harry will have to do just that - act 
with his heart. Of course I think it is pretty much a given that to 
tap in his full potential, Harry will have to be more focused, but I 
am not sure that it will have anything to do with closing his mind 
and heart, I am thinking the opposite.

And yeah, it may be that Harry's power will manifest itself a little 
uncontrollably, instinctively, like I don't know - Harry doing some 
good deed and being able to do some spell after that?

We shall see, hehe.

Alla, rambling one.
