Patronus Lessons

On the one hand, the Patronus charm has the reputation of being so difficult that many adults can't master it; on the other, not only does super-speshul Harry do so at thirteen, but so do many of his friends two years later--including not only the incalculable Luna, but the never-top-of-the-class Ron, Seamus, and Ernest. Nor can we ascribe their success to Harry's wonderful teaching, for in DH Arthur Weasley and Dolores Umbridge both use the charm with no problem under stressful conditions. Producing, in both cases, fully corporeal patroni, not merely silver puffs.

In fact, we don't have a single canon instance of someone trying and ultimately failing to master the spell. Why, then, its formidable reputation? And why did Harry have such trouble learning it?

Harry Demented

“There was a rushing in his ears as though of water. He was being dragged downward, the rushing growing louder…

And then, from far away, he heard screaming, terrible, terrifying screaming. He wanted to help whoever it was, he tried to move his arms, but couldn’t… a thick white fog was swirling around him, inside him---

“Harry! Harry! Are you all right?” (PoA 5: The Dementor)

This was supposed to be a description of Harry reliving his worst memories? Really?

Danny-Sparks wrote in the “Harry’s Dead Parents” thread:

I think what bothers me more than Harry believing that he's suffered more than anyone else for losing his parents is that the story is written such that he actually has apparently suffered more than any of his peers. The text "proves" that Harry has suffered the most with the fact that no other student's boggart (that we see anyway) is especially scary and the fact that no other student has such a severe reaction to dementors.

( Well )
