How can Harry claim the credit?
It's only now at the end of book 5 that he has the faintest idea of what
it's all about. He's been stumbling about in the dark, encountering
Voldy when he least expects it, escaping by the skin of his teeth and 
incredible (some might say unbelievable) luck. And in every escape
he has outside help - the Protection in PS/SS, Fawkes in CoS, the
Timeturner in PoA, conflict of wands in GoF, DD himself in OoP.
If any one of these hadn't been there he'd be dead. 

You'll note that the Protection, Fawkes and the Timeturner are all
associated with DD - and he was aware that Fawkes' feathers were
in both wands. Then he turns up himself in OoP.

Meanwhile DD arranges for him to have extremely useful extra lessons
(not given to *any* other student - Patronus! and Occlumency) without
bothering to give him the whole story. If that's not Puppetmaster!DD
I don't know what is.
