I think that it's essential for Harry to remain fully integrated with 
the rest of the students.  The only place that Harry feels that he 
completely fits in with "the norm" is Hogwarts.  To take this away 
from him would be as good as taking his very identity, and would 
ultimately be detrimental to his chances against V.  For years he 
was "the odd one out" in the muggle world, and if the headmaster was 
to take him out of the normal school routine at Hogwarts, he would 
once again be in this position.  
However, I do believe that he *and* Hermione and Ron need some 
*extra* training.  Maybe something along the lines of Harry's 
training with Lupin and the boggart, after school for an hour or two, 
once or twice a week.
I feel the only way to fully prepare Harry is to leave him to live as 
normal a life possible for someone in his position, and allow him to 
develop as a well rounded and balanced character.
