I think we will see a more take charge Harry. I believe that this is the end to the father figures like DD and Sirius. I do most definitely think that Harry does have a lot to learn, spells, control of spells, resisting spells, etc. But, I believe his discoveries and delvings into his magical edu will be initiated by Harry himself in the last book. He has already mapped himself out a crude sort of plan. He is not relying on anyone anymore. He didn't ask Ron and Hermione to join him, they invited themselves.
Harry will need a little more advice from older witches and wizards. He will need to do research on spells and curses, jinxes. But, I think he is coming into his own and there will be no more parent figures to the extent that DD and Sirius were. He'll still learn from other people, but it will be on his terms. Also, I think he has all the last straws he can handle. I don't think he needs any more deaths for him to be serious and dedicated to the task before him.
I'm excited to see how mature he will be in book 7.
