He is definitely not evil (IMO) nor do I think he is stupid.  I 
think that he, like many 15 year olds, thinks he *knows* a lot more 
than he really does.

I think that Snape alluded to that possibility in his first lesson. 
But I think that Harry really wanted those visions to continue.  I 
think he underestimated the risk of false visions. Likewise, because 
of the Arthur/snake incident, he overestimated the advantages of 
continuing the dreams/visions.
