Well, we disagree on that one. Actually, "stupid" is the kindest word 
I call call Dumbledore for that. Harry ABSOLUTELY should have been 
told at the beginning of the fifth year what was going on,IMO.

Voldie DOES know about the prophecy. he learned about it (or at least 
first part of it) before he attacked Potters. Eavesdropper, remember?


Children are injured, Harry almost got killed.

Sirius is dead (or supposedly dead for me :o)). So, I see it as a 
complete disaster.

And if Dumbledore is going ask Snape again to teach Harry... He is 
not just stupid, he is an idiot. :o)
