Cassie:
Though it brings up an interesting thought: Harry never turns to an 
adult for help. Except for Sirius, of course. Perhaps he constantly 
wants to prove himself--even to himself.

Bookworm:
My take on this is that Harry has been conditioned to think there is 
no one he can go to for help.  Even though he has been at Hogwarts 
for five years, those first 11 years – well, 10 actually – with the 
Dursleys would have been imprinted on his psyche. And when no one 
tells him anything after the graveyard scene, it only reinforces 
what he has known his whole life – he can't count on anyone else for 
help, except Ron and Hermione who urged him to tell someone.
