The thing that is being forgotten when dealing with Harry ( and I 
hope Dumbledore gets this now) is that Harry is not used to going to 
adults for help. So in order to get him to cooperate or understand, 
he NEEDS to be clued in on what is going on. He is never going to 
just blidly follow directions and it is going to be damn hard to 
teach him that way. Snape is definitely not the one for the job 
brcause he enjoys having the upper hand  and will never give Harry 
more information than what HE feels Harry needs to know,due to what 
he sees as Harry being arrogant.
