I totally agree with your opinion of the Forest Again. I cry every
time I read that chapter and I'm not someone who tears up when I read.
I think Harry doesn't fear death in the earlier books because he knows
noone will miss him if he dies. The Dursleys will never mourn him as
the Weasley family grieves for Fred. Harry also wants to avenge the
death of his parents and his godfather and if he dies that's the price
he is willing to pay.
