As I see things at the end of OoP, it is unlikely that Dumbledore 
will do anything against Harry's will and assent. Since he blames 
himself for the event that took place in OoP, I really don't think he 
will repeat what he already considers a tremendous mistake : going 
against Harry's will by treating him like a child.
