Lynn:

As long as Dumbledore is around, Harry doesn't
need to lead, but he is a symbol.  I do think
that Dumbledore has been grooming Harry to be the
next leader against the Dark Side (Holy Star
Wars, Batman) but a lot will depend on how Harry
handles the information he'll need to know about
the past.  

While Dumbledore told Harry that Harry was able
to shoulder a grown wizard's burden, just how
much more can a now 15 year old handle?  And yet,
Harry will have to take on more and whether it
makes or breaks him remains to be seen.  (Of
course, since Harry is the 'hero' of the series
it's a pretty good bet that he'll make it.)

I wonder if Dumbledore now wishes he had told
Harry about things sooner so that Harry isn't
having so much thrown at him at once and would
have had more time to assimilate the information
Dumbledore must tell him.  Well, perhaps the
answer to that will come on June 21st.
