me: 

I agree with mom31 that Harry might make an effort to protect H & R and 
Neville by not telling them about the prophecy,   Harry's always been a 
"loner," of the I-have-to-do-it-myself mold, but I think/hope one of the things 
he's learning is that he needs to rely more on others. I think part of his bristling 
at the "Hero" title is his knowing at some level that he needs to trust/depend 
on others more.   I understand part of the meaning of the "committee" who 
spoke with the Dursleys in the train station at the end of term was that Harry's 
not alone.

I also think Harry's decisions and his life in general will not "hang together" or 
make sense without knowing about the tremendous weight he's now carrying. 
I think Hermione is a keen enough observer to realize something has 
changed for Harry, and I believe she's curious and shrewd enough to make a 
good guess.  Failing a "good guess" I think she's not likely to let go of the 
question about why Harry is different until she has an answer that satisfies 
her.
