| Nov 14, 2017 at 7:09 | comment | added | Harry Johnston | Yes, but your argument for why Harry shouldn't have resented Dumbledore rests on the assumption that Dumbledore would have told Harry these things had he lived - or, rather, that Harry would have thought that Dumbledore would have told Harry these things had he lived. I don't understand why you would expect Harry to believe that. | |

So he only really started telling Harry things from then on. To me, it felt that he was getting to the point of revealing everything to Harry in HBP (at least before I reached the end of DH). But anyway I am not saying that a few more months would have made a difference, I am asking why Harry resented Dumbledore at the beginning. | |
