New Steve asked:

Susanne responded: 
> Um, because it happened in the book?

Carol adds:
Not to mention that, in the book, at least, Harry had good reason to
be angry with Dumbledore, and cutting the scene eliminates at least
one great DD line, "By all means, continue destroying my possessions.
I daresay I have too many" (quoted from memory). DD explains quite a
few things that Harry and the reader need to know (about Snape and
Kreacher, for example), though, of course, he doesn't tell Harry
"everything" because JKR needs to resolve certain mysteries in DH,
which would be ruined if DD *really* revealed everything at the end of
the fifth book.

At any rate, the confrontation in the book is a great, if
controversial, scene, of which the film gives only the slightest hint.

Carol, who thinks that OoP's alteration of the Occlumency lessons
(e.g., omitting Harry's unauthorized excursion into the Pensieve) is
another serious flaw
