I agree that Harry is drifting from his friends, especially since the death of his godfather.
I don't think that he'll completely seperate himself from their influence, but I think he probably dosn't feel as secure and protected in his friends as he used too.

Absolutely agree. It's the old Jesus complex. Buffy went through the same thing: 'The chosen one will always walk alone.' 'One' and 'alone' play a big part in both these heroes' lives. Hang on, Buffy went all 'darker' after the death of her Mum ...? What do you reckon that JKR not only read Tolkien (obviously) and Ibbotson but is also a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan?? Or is it just inevitable that all heroes must 'walk alone'? Is Harry feeling his 'calling'/ his destiny even before he's told about the prophecy? Is this why he was a grumpy, tanty throwing, snippy snappy in the 5th? Was he truly feeling the weight of being 'special' for the first time or was that just hormones?
