Too true. And that did nag me a bit when I got to that bit. Harry's just 'ok well it's for the 'greater good' '. Harry doesn't pause to think about it like DiR characters do. He just accepts it (and very quickly too!). I suppose it's because he comes across as a part of him wanting to die so that he can be 'reunited' with his parents? (Btw I think that Will's fate is infinitely sadder and tragic, he has a large loving family true but he knows that he'd get to watch them die and that he will never be able to 'rejoin' them afterwards) The impression that I got is that Harry's not angry at Dumbledore for being a manipulative .. he's angry that Dumbledore didn't tell him some of their 'shared' private life (like Godric's Hollow).
