Because we're getting to The End.  The End of Everything.  I assume 
that Rowling is serious in her literary intentions to ratchet up the 
tension by having Harry (mostly) go it alone.  Harry has been helped 
immensely throughout the books with luck and coincidence and his 
abilities to call down amazing assistance.

Isn't it about time for Harry to suck it up and get down with his own 
skills and unique abilities (Chosen One, right?) and do things on his 
merits?  He has the support of his friends which should be essential, 
but too much support weakens the tension and the drama, as it were.

Although Rowling likes her devices, it's not a foregone conclusion that 
she will keep using them.  They seem to decrease in effectiveness, as 
well.
