Harry learned that his very first day at Hogwarts, both the book Harry and
the movie Harry.

Because Harry is not the type who panics in a crisis and Slughorn was.

Because seconds before Dumbledore specifically asked Harry to get Snape. and
he really did look like he had a plan and was going to help. That's what I
would have thought if I hadn't read the book.

Hermione mentioning it in class on Harry's first day at Hogwarts 6 years
earlier is not enough to make me think "hey, Harry should remember the
beazor from six years ago when Hermione said it, because Harry ALWAYS
remembers EVERYTHING Hermione says in class."

 

My thing with Slughorn is that that I didn't hear Harry saying "get madam
Pomfrey!" or "Get help! Quick!" while searching. Or even, "Professor! Do you
have a beazor?" You need the scene earlier to know how Harry knows he could
even find a beazor there, only that explains why he doesn't ask Slughorn for
it. Sorry, but I think you're applying your vast knowledge of the stories
and not looking at it at all from the POV of the casual film-goer who only
sees each film once or twice and doesn't read the books.

 

Harry doesn't trust Snape, knows he's working with Malfoy and states earlier
that even Dumbledore makes mistakes It all adds up to Harry SHOULD NOT trust
or listen to Snape.
