I think whoever said 'Harry's growing up' had the right of it. Not only in his dealing with Ron, but in his thought process and general behaviour.

Loved the little bit of Slytherin that came out in him with Ron, by the way. And Hermione's a smart woman. I'm not sure that she'll be so all about Ron when she finds out that he used Ginny to intervene.

Awesome piece of magic there at the end. I'm really glad this one's going to be so long.
