Why should Harry be expected to listen to anyone at Hogwarts?

Snow:
 
The duel is about to begin

In one corner we have Lupinlore backed by Alla that the teachers at 
Hogwarts School should indeed take care of Harry realizing his 
status as an orphan and that Dumbledore is at fault for the same 
crime
In the opposing corner we have Tonks rebuttal that the teachers at 
Hogwarts are not specifically responsible for parenting Harry

I'm going to have to side with the
underdog
Tonks
not
just because 
she appears to be the underdog at the moment, but because I feel 
she's right.


Alla:

Chuckle. I am very bad duelist, Snow and don't worry, I am sure 
Tonks will have plenty fo support on her side too. :o0


 


Snow:

Harry is not overly protected by anyone, like a parent would be

except were Sirius was concerned. Sirius has been the only one so 
far to break the rules of Harry not knowing too much by allowing him 
to ask questions and actually giving him answers
where he was not 
prohibited from doing so. Everyone else in the Order or "Plan" have 
just taught Harry what he needed to know and treated him as though 
he was an object to an eventual destruction, Weapon!Harry. Does this 
mean that all the teachers in the Order only see Harry as a weapon


no, but their job in both accounts as a member of the Order and a 
teacher are to take orders and/or teach necessary lessons. Sirius, 
and Dumbledore in some circumstances, goes above and beyond. They 
are the balance that stabilizes Harry and his emotions. They are in 
fact his true teachers and caretakers. 


Alla:

I believe Lupinlore was specifically speaking about Hogwarts 
teachers, not any other adults( but I may be wrong) therefore I did 
not include Sirius or Molly Weasley for that matter.

Sirius indeed tried and I said earlier I believe that he loved Harry 
for himself. Ideally, if he would survived and getting some therapy, 
I am sure he would been OK parent figure, but he just had so much 
baggage himself.

I do hope that Remus will step up to the plate somehow at least in 
HBP.


JMO,
