Your point is well made, but I'm not sure if you asked the right
question. I think the real question is, how much will he tell them?

I think he may make a general mention that he heard the prophecy, and
of course, they will ask him what it said, but I think his first
response will be vague and general. Something along the line of, I'm
the one who has to face Voldemort. But I think that's what everyone
pretty much assumed.  

It will be a long while before he actually quote the prophecy to them.
Which I think is a bad move, because there might be some real value in
getting Hermione's brain working on it. I think this is just the kind
of thing she would be good at.

So, really, in a way, I'm agreeing with you. Harry sense of isolation
is not going to encourage him to be very forthcoming; a 'leave me
alone, it's my problem and there's nothing you can do about it'
attitude. But as usual he will eventually come around; I'm just not
sure how long that will be.

Sorry, guess I didn't add much.
