I really appreciate the response I've been getting, both positive and critical.
As for the Dementors: that they're "misery elementals" is something I got from the Harry Potter wikia. It states that Dementors are created from unhappiness, while Boggarts are created from fear (which makes you wonder why one was in the teacher's lounge) and poltergeists are chaos spirits.
I'll be making this more explicit in the chapter I'm writing now, but Harry very much separates himself from the people that he saw in his visions, even "other" Harry Potter. You can see that by the way that he is pretty careful, for the most part (he slips up every once in a while), of calling the Harry Potter who died in the Forbidden Forest "Other Harry Potter" or "other Harry." How he rationalizes and explains this will be shown in a conversation he has with Hermione and Ron.
As a consequence of this separation, Harry is still the easy-going kid with a nascent hot temper and a "saving people" complex as he was in Book 3. Original Flavor Harry, you might call him. He has to deal with a lot of weird things, like visions of dead people in his head, but then he was going to be dealing with that anyway.
Chapter 3 is coming soon.
