Three dollars and some change

I'm not sure what you mean by edging into zomg-whinge. She's dealing with a lot (torture by a witch, almost killing Nathaniel, being stalked by a serial killer who almost killed Nathaniel, then the subsequent issues).

I guess it'd be too much of a story-killer if they reached the point where 'cry' ends and 'fsck it all' begins.

One of the reasons that I like the characters so much is that they aren't detatched from society and the people around them. There has to be emotion involved for the reader to actually care about what happens to them. If Harry started killing people randomly... yeah, it'd be easier for him, but it would take away from his character.

Unless I misread what you meant?
