Adult they can trust... 14-15 year-olds don't usually trust adults. 
Additionally, Ministry is after Sirius, an innocent convicted without trial.
Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge didn't behave well when told about 
Voldemort.
Their first DADA teacher was a Dark Wizard.
Second one was trying to do memory-spell on them (for their own good)
Third - Lupin, was worth a trust, but isn't there to be contacted.
fourth - a dark wizard cheaming Harry into Voldemort's hands...
They don't trust. Dumbledore's choices for DADA teachers make him under 
doubt (not to mention keeping Snape the Trio most definately doesnt trust!)
Also, many others - in authority - aren't worth a trust.
I think they trust more in themselves.
