boyd:

We could have made the same arguments after each of the first 5 books, 
though. Certainly, after GoF it seemed so--that the WW would finally 
have to react to LV's return, and that DD would finally have to let 
Harry in on the whole thing. But neither happened.

And with not 1, but 2 books left, JKR will likely continue her pattern 
of keeping a few salient points from us and, therefore, Harry.

And I bet the WW STILL doesn't exactly welcome Harry with open arms. I 
agree that he'll still be a bit distanced emotionally from his 
friends. My guess is that either many in the WW will somehow blame 
Harry for LV's return, or LV and the DEs will target those close to 
him--making him a bit of a pariah (again).
