OK I have obviously missed something. I understand that DD would avoid 
Harry after the whole Arthur-Weasley-snake-incident-combined-with-
possible-V-possession. But why was he avoiding Harry in the first 
half of the book? 
I know this is probably simple and I just missed it but I'm a little 
confused and figured yall could clear me up quickly.
Thanks,

IMO-- I believe that DD knew of the connection between Harry and Voldy, via the scar, for a long time. However, Voldy was not back to his full strength yet and he did not worry about Voldy realizing the connection or the power that was at his fingers. When Voldy came back in GoF, DD worst fears would be possible, DD knew of the dangerous connection long before Voldy and harry would realize it. That is why he avoided Harry in the beginning of the book.
