Harry recovered way too easily, if the story were consistent he'd be screaming on the floor until the Aurors arrived.

Well, to the accusation of inconsistency I will respond that (a) Harry is not standing five paces away from a Dementor this time and (b) he has been strengthened somewhat by previous realizations, thus he does not instantly fall over and gets a chance to recover.
