>I know, I know -- we've gone 'round & 'round on this issue on the 
list -- but it is where *I* fault DD.  I've been much more willing 
than many others here to be forgiving of DD overall, as I do think 
he's the best the white hats have... but he's not Superman.  But if 
DD doesn't start clueing Harry in *bigtime* from here on in, then 
I'll be much more critical of him.  IOW, I want him to have learned 
from his mistakes as much as we expect Harry to learn from his.<

Betsy:
I agree with you SSSusan, and I also hope that there is a change in 
how Dumbledore treats Harry in the last two books.  I strongly 
suspect there will be, and Harry will find himself much more 
included in various plans, and kept up with current information. I 
think that if this is the case, Harry will be fairly quick to 
forgive Dumbledore any perceived wrongs.  I think if Dumbledore 
*doesn't* change his behavior (which will be a surprise, because he 
seemed to fully understand his errors) than Harry will still resent 
being kept in the dark and his relationship with Dumbledore will 
sour.  But, I do think Dumbledore will change.
