Well then Dumbledore is an idiot.  Because Harry hasn't been afraid 
of death since...EVER!  In the very first book, when he is a mere 11 
year old, he rushed off to save the Philosopher's Stone because he 
knew even then that dying was better than living under the influence 
of evil. 

And every single year since then Harry has willingly risked death to 
fight the good fight.  In GoF, he totally expected to die when he 
faced Voldemort, and he only wanted to die like a man, fighting to 
the end.  In OoTP, he *wanted* to die, rather than live with the pain 
of losing Sirius. 

How the heck can Dumbledore possibly think that Harry fears death?  

One of the reasons the Hallows plotline is so very lame to me is that 
Harry is only learning a lesson he learned six years ago - he got the 
Hallows for the same reason he got the Philosopher's Stone.  At 11, 
Harry was as good a man as he was at 17, which is fine...but makes 
the whole dang series sort of pointless.

I hear ya.  But we're in mourning, and unlike in JKR's world, that 
takes more than a few minutes.  I loved this series, I cherished this 
series, and its creator turned it into something ugly and repulsive. 

I'm sort of reminded of the Anne of Green Gables series...Kevin 
Sullivan created two charming, faithful TV adaptations of the books 
and then went bonkers with the third series...it was the same 
characters but in a completely different time period, completely 
different scenarios, saying totally OOC things...it was surreal!  For 
me, that's DH.  I feel like someone bought the rights to the 
characters and just wrote a completely different story that has no 
relation to anything else in the series!
