I agree that there is a sort of free-fall feeling that enters both the text and Harry's perception of the world once he is removed from the rhythms and mundanities of Hogwarts. Although I initially missed Hogwarts immensely, I'm starting to come around to feeling that this removal of routine was a necessary shock, that Harry needed to be left without a map or a syllabus. I loved the moment when he wished he was back in Hogwarts like Neville, where his role would be clear, where he could be the student rebelling against the unfair regime. It's easier to be a rebel than to be in charge)
(Of course, he also wished he could be back at Hogwarts getting detentions from Snape...hopefully detentions similar to the ones about which you have written. *g*)
