jkoney65:
The wand is dangerous? How so? The wand can't do anything without the 
wizard using it. Maybe many of its past owners weren't the best 
people but that has no bearing on Harry.

Dumbledore tamed the wand. Who is to say that Harry couldn't tame it 
further? He does have a stubborn streak and willingness to complete 
the task set in front of him. I think he is more than capable of 
mastering the wand to his will.

I doubt that Harry is going to need much training to become an auror. 
They are going to try and get him in uniform as soon as possible. He 
defeated the dark lord. That alone will scare the crap out of many 
people. And the ones that aren't afraid aren't going to wait until 
Harry thinks he is ready to fight.

jkoney65:
I'm not sure what truth Dumbledore was supposed to make them see. I 
doubt many people believe the fountain in the ministry as the way 
things are or should be.

I don't think anyone in the trio knew the fidelius spell otherwise 
they could have hid the tent from everyone and wouldn't have had to 
move around.

he didn't want to go down two steps and decided to urinate all over 
the hallway rug instead.
