I really need to get more HP-related icons, this is the only one I have right now.
Anyway, yeah. Dobby's death had time to be mourned, Fred's didn't. We had Percy going off after the guy who killed him, though, and that was a pretty powerful scene, especially since Percy has been so distant from his family in all these books. It really showed that he really does care about them, no matter what he's been doing that seems to contradict that. And we got that little scene with Molly sobbing and the whole family around Fred's body-- that just wasn't the main focus at that point in the book, though, so we didn't get an in-depth look at the mourning that was obviously going on.
