Anon, you're so effing awesome. Nothing angers me more in the fandom than when people dismiss OotP!Harry as "emo" (or worse, with "teenage angst" wich appeared in EVERY SINGLE FUCKING REVIEW of the movie), when he was in fact suffering from a textbook case of PSTD.

I'd never made the connection that he'd react that way to further trauma (I don't read much fic with that plot), but you make a very interesting point. And an older, more powerful and more unhinged Harry would certainly make for entertaining fic.
