Uma was not, as a rule, very good at being the kind of person who was happy for their friend's success when they had no success of their own - which is to say that hearing Harry had found a way through the barrier, was being allowed to stay there, and had found his true love, had not exactly been met with warmth and congratulations.
More like rage and accusations.
