"Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-
moon glasses. 'It is time,' he said, "for me to tell you what I 
should have told you five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am 
going to tell you everything.'"


After reading this for the umpteenth time it sounds like Dumbledore 
is regretting not telling Harry something and I'm that impression 
from where he says "I should have told you".  As though, something 
has just happened that could have been prevented.  Is it just me 
that has read it this way?  
I'm not saying that this is the right way to interpret it because it 
could just simply be Dumbledore informing him about what happened 
the night his parents died, something about Lily (whom we know 
nothing about), or anything basically.  And "It is time" kinda 
throws off my idea, but how about realizing he made a mistake and 
there was a consequence to that mistake that could have been 
prevented had he told Harry what he should have told him 5 years ago.
