Why doesn't Harry tell Dumbledore? (was chapter nine summary)

Is it possible that the fact that Harry admires and respects 
Dumbledore more than anyone else would make him less likely (as a 
child) to tell him certain things?

We can see elsewhere in the books (I haven't got them to hand - 
sorry) how terrible it is to him when he fears he might dissapoint 
Dumbledore (or other people he admires - Sirius, or Lupin for 
example).

The last person he would want to think him mad, or bad, is the man he 
looks up to the most - it's hardly suprising that he keeps quiet 
soemthing he is so uncertain about, and frightened of, himself.
