I really do. But here's something to contemplate.

When its established that Harry has a mental link to Voldy, he is told often and repeatedly to make an effort to close that link off. And there's a very good reason for it as well. That reason isn't explained to Harry, and I have no problem with why it wasn't explained. Because honestly, that will be the day when I have to explain every one of my decisions to a child. Yes, there comes a time when an individual has gained enough experience or whatever, when they can begin to question why something is done. Harry often does not display the maturity for this.

Example...storming off into the ministry. HP got played like a drum. His stupid, foolish action to run off to the ministry with a bunch of the other students was so so dumb. It got several of his friends seriously hurt, destroyed valuable resources (time turners come to mind), and got Sirius killed. And yes, every bit of that was HP's fault. He was told *specifically* to close his Voldy-like down...yet he didn't. The fact that it helped to save the life of Aurther Weasley doesn't offset the fact that it did more damage than good.
