Planning the future

Hi,
    Thinking about Harry, I was stuck by the fact that he doesn't 
make any plans about the future. Leave planning, he doesn't even 
think about future to know how events might turn up. He blithely goes 
on, reacting to events that happen. He never anticipates what future 
events are going to be, unlike say ,Dumbledore who always seems to 
know what might happen and be prepared for that. (I am not saying 
that he should compete with Dumbledore in future management). 
     As Dumbledore explains at the last of OOTP, one reason he didn't 
reveal about the prophecy to Harry sooner was that he didn't want 
someone so young to continually brood over such a huge 
responsibility. But now that Harry knows, will he start thinking 
about what might happen, how he might defeat Voldemort, make plans, 
learn new skills, prepare himself? Or will he just wait for Voldemort 
to turn up and rely on last minute luck and courage under fire?
