Perhaps just through saved up Penseive memories. There's no way he's just going to go out and start finding Horcruxes, never mind destroying them, which we have no clue how to do.

I was thinking it was going to be his portrait....the pensive was a little overused in this book, IMO, and something fresh should be introduced.

Agreed.

Spoiler:

Oh, and I too am a bit annoyed that Harry keeps drifting along through school, using all kinds of cheats. He doesn't have to be as brilliant as Hermione, but jeez, can he at least earn normal grades on his own? It's the one trait I do not like about Harry.

Absolutely! I think if I had to fight Voldemort I would be working day and night to be the most powerful wizard that I could be. Harry seems content just to float along, copying off of Hermione most of the time. Slacker.
