Harry has support among all ages, but now he understands that he is no
longer responsible for just himself and his friends.  He's shouldered
the burden of leadership that being the subject of the prophesy has
dealt to him.  Whether or not he is Dumbledore's heir, it looks as
though he will be Dumbledore's successor and the baton is passing.  

This doesn't mean that Harry may not try to isolate himself.  He may.
 But he can't escape this burden.  Dumbledore tried to protect him
from it as long as possible, maybe too long.  

His friends, old and young, are his support, his advisors, his
comrades.  But only Harry can save them all.
