I like that. Because it's true that while Cedric's death gives Harry the more traditional thing like having nightmares, that's tied into a lot of other things for him. When he's faced with Cho's grief he's just embarassed and doesn't want to draw closer to her with Cedric hanging over them.
With Sirius it's kind of hidden, in a way. Harry never consciously thinks about the Blacks--he says he doesn't want the house or Kreacher. Yet he's drawing towards them throughout the book after he says Sirius would want him to go on etc. It's especially interesting that he's dealing with Kreacher who was so much part of Sirius' murder. And of course in OotP Draco is more closely linked with Bella as well.
