Secrets

Very interesting ideas about secrets, Peg. I've also
paid a lot of attention to Harry's ability to trust
other people. My parents weren't exactly the Dursleys
but I still grew up in rather rough circumstances and
as a adult, I'm going through the same process that
Harry does in learning how to trust others. To anyone
else, it would have been perfectly acceptable Book 2
to mention to Dumbledore, "You know, I'm hearing
voices and it's starting to freak me out." But Harry
isn't quite sure who he can trust. Again, Harry is
very careful to keep his identity to himself when he
meets Draco at Madam Malkin's, most likely because
he's not sure if he can trust him.

But as Harry learns to trust, he's dealt a pretty
strong blow when he places his trust in Mad Eye Moody
only to learn that he's an imposter. Based on my own
behavior, I'd expect to see Harry withdraw back into
his own secrets in the next book and be less willing
to trust... which would be sad.
