In the start of the book Harry lived with the Dursleys', his aunts family. The feeling of hatred was mutual between Harry and the Dursleys', though they still took him in. They were emotionally abusive, which gave Harry a tolerance to many insults. When members of the Order if Phoenix came to pick him up, he was ecstatic, he was able to leave his 'family' and not see them again almost a year. When he got to where the Orders' hideout was, he surprised to find his two best friends and all of the people that actually care about him. During the beginning of the book, Harry is confused, defensive and , all of which he has a right to be. He shows this be being hostile and seemingly unable to control how he expresses emotions. Harry is confused about why he was brought to the meeting place of the Order of the Phoenix and what the Order really is. When he finds out that the Order is meant to prevent anyone from joining Lord Voldemort and to stop Lord Voldemort's army from collecting more people, he is upset. He is not upset because of the purpose of the Order, but why the Order was needed. The Order was needed because the minister of magic refused to believe that Lord Voldemort existed, therefore there was no need to take precautions against him. He is upset because he is being told that he is not just like his father. He strives to be just like his father, because he feels as though he should be able to live up to all the amazing things that his father did. Little did he know that later in the book, he wouldn't want to be exactly like his father.
During the middle of the book Harry is very shocked. He finds out that his father wasn't the best person while he was Harry's age. Harry found out the reason why Professor Snape hates Harry's father. Harry saw something that he shouldn't have. He saw Professor Snape's memory. Harry saw that his father used to bully Snape. In fact, every time they saw each other's throat's out. He was shocked to such an extreme level because he had built up such a large expectation of what his father was like. He didn't want to think about how bad his father was. He didn't take this well, but he took it better than when he found out what the Order was needed for. He didn't talk much the night he found out what his dad really did when he was Harry's age, which is an improvement from being hostile to everyone.
In the very end of the book, he backtracks, though with good reason. Harry and his friends were a lot of trouble. They were battling the Death Eaters (followers of Lord Voldemort). They were not doing so well until the Order of the Phoenix appears out of nowhere. The Order includes Sirius Black, the person that Harry cares most about. Right before the Order defeated the Death Eaters, one of then kills Sirius Black. Harry kicked and screamed and tried to get to the Death Eaters only to be held back by Sirius' best friend, Remus Lupin. When he got back to Hogwarts, he smashed many valuable things in Dumbledore's office. Although he got out of control, this 'tantrum' made him realize that he is not a little kid anymore and he cannot act like this.
Harry's life has never been easy, but in, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," he learns his to somewhat control how he expresses his feelings. He does not confuse this with not having feelings or emotions, he merely begins to learn not to direct his emotions towards other people, possibly making them feel uncomfortable or getting himself in a lot of trouble.

In your thesis not only you stated your opinion but you also gave additional information.Your response was very detailed and I was able to vividly remember parts of the book and the movie. I believe you went in depth more than possible, you debunked sections of the book that were interesting and followed through with elaboration. This response was wonderful!
