Reading you recap, I realized why this chapter sucked so much. This should have been the start/ the initiation of Harry the adult hero, the equinox where Dumbledore's powers decrease and Harry's increase. She obviously intended it as such, but it falls completely flat as it is obvious she had not laid the groundwork for it by teaching Harry something before. This is the point where his Muggle upbringing, his magical education, his experience from the previous books and Dumbledore's special tuition should have come together ***You and me both...but when it comes to DD,Harry is still eleven years old. He's in good company, so are the rest of the wizworld. I'm more and more impressed by Lily&James denying DD for a secret keeper, choosing a trusted friend instead. (Bet DD knew the spy was Peter but kept it to himself.)
