Marissa:

It's easy to say this after the debacle in OoTP. For four years, 
everytime Harry was presented with a problem and out something evil 
was underway, whenever he went to look for an adult they didn't 
believe him or weren't around. He always ended up at the end by 
himself having to figure it out alone. So after four years of this, 
why WOULDN'T he expect to have to head there straight away without 
reference to anyone? He's learned from past experiences that if he 
doesn't act quickly Voldemort will get what he wants. In PS, 
Voldemort would've had the Philosopher's Stone, in the Chamber of 
Secrets Ginny would have died, in Prisoner of Azkaban without 
conjuring that Patronus Sirius would've had the dementor's kiss, and 
in the Goblet of Fire he would've been dead if he sat around 
twiddling his thumbs, waiting for an adult to come along and help 
him.  PhoenixGod2000 is completely right.
