Sen:

You make an excellent point Meri. How many times have we seen Harry 
actually *try* to go to an adult about something..anything... and 
*not* get shot down? These instances on top of the distrust the 
Dursleys' have ..beaten (for lack of a better word) into him would 
make anyone take matters into their own hands. If you strongly 
believe something and you've got the evidence (or even a series of 
suspicions that add up like in SS) and nobody else listens.. aren't 
you going to do something instead of sitting idly by?
