Me, Melanie:

BUT. Don't forget, Harry did not grow up in the WW. He's having to be
constantly reminded or told about things that most people in the WW
already know and take for granted. In a tense situation, someone who's
already familiar with magical healing *might* think, "oh well, if I get
hurt I'll just go get it healed" but I don't think Harry has lived in the
WW long enough for that to be an instant thought for him. I don't think
he's ever gone into a situation with "sure and certain knowledge" about
getting healed from whatever hurts him.
