Plus the fact that even with Dumbledore's explanation,
he feels guilty.  I'm sure I wasn't the only one
trying to shout at the book and tell Harry not to go
to the DoM, since they put such an emphasis on Harry
taking his Occlumency lessons (I asked this before,
but why couldn't someone have explained the prophecy
to Harry sometime that year when they realized what
his dreams were).  Sorry, to close, many people who
feel guilty try to take it out on others, so that
could also show why he's so angry.
