Could you tell me what changed at the end of OoP that Dumbledore
suddenly thought it was safe enough to talk to the boy?
Sawsan here:
Anyway, Dumbledore ignored Harry throughout OOTP so that
Voldie would not make a close connection between Harry and DD, but
when DD goes to save Harry personally at the MoM, then it had already
been obvious that they were close. Also, Harry had just suffered a
terrible loss, and had been through five years of knowing that there
is something about Voldie and him, and having to fight the Death
Eaters in some form or another, so it was high time he got some
answers. Dumbledore just thought that he might as well let him in on
the horrible truth. Imagine looking at a child and knowing that they
had a horrible destiny ahead of them and might even die. That has to
be hard. I am sure DD has his faults, but I don't think that he would
be evil. I think he knows too much, and has probably even tampered
with time, so he knows that somethings he cannot change, no matter how
powerful of a wizard he is. He seems to have to watch things fall
apart and watch people die, knowing that it was inevitable. I am sure
that DD has had a pretty miserable life, so that would make seem a bit
less caring or what not.
OK enough of my ranting.
