Hello all, Fred Waldrop here;

To be honest, unless some think that Harry should NEVER be in the 
OotP, and seeing he only has 2 years to "mature emotionally" enough, 
it is a now or never kind of thing.
While I will agree that Harry might not need to join the OotP in the 
next book, he sorta needs to be kept in the loop a lot better in the 
next 2 books. Or, Potterworld needs to hope and pray the prophecy 
does NOT include the boy who lives at #4 Prievet drive. Because if he 
is told as much (or as little) in the next 2 books, (the very LAST 2 
books), he will most certianly get himself killed from ignorance. 
Ignorance that comes from not being told the truth, and being told 
only half truths when he is told the truth. To be left to fill in the 
blanks himself with the answer he comes up with. 
This is what Harry gets throughout Ootp, mostly half truths, and we 
all know how well that turned out. From the "there is nothing in MoM 
for you Potter", to "you need to learn occlumency because you and V 
are.... connected".
If someone, or anyone as far as that goes, would have sat Harry down 
and told him ALL the truth, while the book would not have been as 
good, Harry at least would have been able to understand COMPLEATLY 
what was going on. Not just what he thought was going on, or what he 
was assumeing was going on, but what exactly was going on.
