I have never understood what was so confusing about the concept of pointers. What I can see as confusing though is the way C's syntax works with declaring multiple levels of pointer indirection with arrays mixed in, although that can be mitigated with the use of typedefs.

You may be surprised how much a bad professor or tutorial can derail someone. Almost all concepts seems "obvious" or, HN's favorite word, "trivial" once you know it! But getting to the "a-ha" moment can take varying amounts of time depending on the quality of the presentation of the material.
