Sorry if this has been asked before, but how come DD
didn't tell Harry what was going on with his dreams. 
I'm sure Snape must have reported the visions to DD,
and he would then know that Volde was trying to lure
Harry there.  If DD had just told Harry then what the
prophecy was and that Volde was going to try to lure
him there, then why would Harry want to get it?  It
doesn't make sense to me.  

Oh, and how come Dumbledore thought that he could only
tell Harry important information like this at the end
of the year?  Why couldn't he call Harry to his office
in, say, October and let him know something then?  Any
ideas?
