I tend to agree with you here.  Harry will be reluctant to share this 
with his friends, especially considering the meaning behind the 
prophecy (or the meaning so far).  What I'd like to ask as well is if 
Harry should tell Neville about the prophecy.  If Neville's name is in 
any way connected to Voldemort, does he have a right to know that, or 
would it better to leave him out of it?  The fact that Neville was the 
only other person left standing with Harry at the MoM leads me to 
think Harry could share some of his burden with Neville - not the 
actual respsonsibility, mind you, but he and Neville have more in 
common than Harry does with either Hermione or Ron.  

Or maybe it's just that now I like Neville so much, I want him to be a 
part of everything from now on. :-)
