Deathly Hallows, Chapter 34: The Forest Again

[oneandthetruth]

This is where things become really weird. Harry realizes he’s supposed to die, and his reactions are completely unnatural: He jumps over grief stages 1-4 (denial, anger, bargaining, and depression) and goes straight to acceptance. “Harry understood at last that he was not supposed to survive. His job was to walk calmly into Death’s welcoming arms

Very powerful anaysis here, though I do have to admit that I'd forgotten that our community was on another DH recap-cycle here, which is stupid because I loved your Prince's Tale three-parter.

Actually, no, Harry, you’re not acting like Dumbledore, because you’re telling Neville what he needs to know and you’re doing so in a very plain and straightforward manner. If you really were like Dumbledore right now, you would have told Neville nothing at all or would have given him tantalizingly vague hints about what to do.

LOL, so true.

Harry only sees what he wants to see when it comes to Dumbledore.
