I've heard a lot of people say that they didn't like Harry in OotP. I would just like to remind people what he went through the previous year. Voldemort returned, Cedric died, plus the pressure of getting through all the Triwizard tasks without dying. Ya know. He had a lot on his mind and it would be frustrating not to be included in something so important that practically revolves around him. He had to defend himself against Voldemort but they Order won't allow him to join in the meetings because he's "not old enough." I was just as frustrated as Harry was. My roommate said Harry was acting too emo in the 5th book. This frustrates me because he is trying to figure this Voldemort thing out, he runs the risk of being killed by Voldemort, going through school, getting through the hormones, dealing with Cho. In the 6th book he settles down because he's had his time to vent and I think rebelling against Umbridge made him feel like he could overpower something that was considered more powerful than him. He knows that he needs to grow up and defend himself because Dumbledore won't be there anymore.
I know. People dont have to be so hard on him. Like you said, he went through alot in the previous year. People should give him a break. I mean, come on. Harry is depressed and stressed out.
