Well, maybe not told him more, but I do think he should have talked with him more. Poor Harry was sooooo left out of the loop that it left him to conjure up things in his imagination that were so far fetched. He really needed someone to guide him. In his eyes, he had Ron and Hermione and Snape picking on him. He had the Dursleys in the summer telling him what a nuisance he was.

mmmm maybe he did need to be told a bit more too. He was the crux of everything that was happening. Aberforth said in DH that Albus was the master of keeping secrets -- maybe he was a bit too secretive? I dunno? maybe not. BUT would it have really hurt for him to have known?

I grew up in a really secretive family. My dad had open heart surgery and my sister and I weren't told until it was over. He could have died. I thought about those kinds of things a lot reading all these books. JUST TELL HARRY!
