I can certainly sign up under the words of your post " Harry is 
sorely lacking in information and knowledge" Whose fault is it?

Harry's? I think Dumbledore's and Snape. I think Harry would grab ANY 
possibility to listen to Dumbledore's explanations about what is 
going on. Harry IS old enough to listen, he just did not have 
anything to listen to. What did this old fool of Headmaster did 
instead? He makes Snape to teach Harry of all people. It sure made 
for a great read, but if we were to look within the story... Grrr. :o)
