It finally made Harry seem like a real person to me again. I like seeing how MoR!Harry (and MoR!everybody) differs from canon, but sometimes he’s a little too perfect.
That’s just eh experience I got from chapter 36 (visiting the Grangers), my favourite chapter thus far.
I expect that to happen in a later chapter. Surely EY doesn’t think that Harry is acting sensibly? That would be a horror! (Unless Harry has some really devious plot that I don’t anticipate, of course.)
I think that’s the thing for me. I actually aren’t so sure. Some of the other foolish things Harry has done MoR!Author seems to be trying to convey as sensible decisions. For example… the other apology Harry has made to Hermione. When Hermione had panicked and cast finate incantatem on their transfiguration work. The apology itself was reasonable but it seemed like both Harry and MoR!Author were trying to convey that casting finate was a sane thing to do. Not, for example, isolating the room and running to fetch McGonagal. Being responsible doesn’t mean turning off your brain at the first sign of danger!
ETA: The latest chapter was interesting. Less nauseating but more bizarre.
“Yeah,” said Draco. “I understand.”
Not.
“Yeah.” said Draco. “Hey Harry, I’ve been meaning to thank you. It was your advice that allowed me to override my instincts up here. In fact, it was what allowed me to beat you. So let me return the favour and give you a lesson in personal boundaries that I learned when I was four.”

H’m, you may be right. Altough it may yet be accepted that Harry was overreacting.
Anyway, it leads to a nice introduction to Remus!
(Edit: add ‘although’ in first line, which is really what I meant all along.)
