Hickengruendler:

I don't think that really holds water. After all, during the murder 
of Frank Bryce, or during the scene where Voldemort learns from 
Crouch's deaths, Harry also wasn't Voldemort. Therefore I think we 
can assume that both kind of dreams can be real.

I don't blame Harry for believing the dream. I don't think there's 
any way he could have known for sure if it was real, even if I agree 
with everyone who was sure from the beginning that it was a trap. 
However, I do blame him for wanting to rush off at once without 
checking other possibilities. He listened to Hermione in the end (and 
only very grudgingly) to use the fire, however, if he had thought 
only for a minute, he must have thought about either Sirius' present 
or at least Snape. And actually, I think Ron, Hermione and Ginny are 
equally to blame. They, too, knew that Snape was a member of the 
Order and apparently still didn't think about him.
