Alla:

Exactly, Harry respects Dumbledore, well respected prior to OOP 
anyway. I see no reason whatsoever why he would not practice to, if 
Dumbledore, whom he liked and respected would explained to him the 
backstory.

I won't even go into Snape's behaviour again. I think that lessons 
had a better chance being succesful if Professor Binks was teaching 
Harry. :o)

Anybody, actually.
