I agree.  I think Harry has a right to be upset.  ALthough I do not 
think it was absolutely neccesary for him to know he is the one who 
has to defeat Voldy.  I knows at least that Voldy wants him dead.  I 
think Dumbledore should have told him what was happening at that time 
and worry about the past latter.  D. could have told Harry that V. 
would try and use his mind.  This incesent "you have to learn 
Occlumency" can be grating if no one tells you why.  They could have 
told him at least that much.  That V. would use his mind to sent fake 
pictures or get information and that he must stop that or bad things 
could happen.  They did not have to keep him in the dark for 
everything maybe just some of it.
