Valky:
I am not sure how to answer that one. As I was reading it seemed to me
that most people around Harry were trying very hard to keep his head
level for him. After the stressed behaviour that Harry demonstrated in
OOtP, I imagine that those close to Harry might be concerned about him
jumping headlong into something foolish again. It's not really an
excuse for giving his thoughts so little credit for so long, but it is
a valid reason.

Valky:
This one is easy. How did Dumbledore react when he realised that Draco
was sent by Voldemort to kill him? I'll answer that, he thought of
almost nothing but the safety and welfare of Draco and his beloved
family. This is exactly what Voldemort counted on in sending Draco to
do the deed, that Dumbledore would act just like "fools who love" act
and barely defend himself, let alone catch Draco in the act and punish
him at risk of Draco and Narcissa's death. One may think that an
accomplished wizard might have stood a better chance than Draco of
cornering Dumbledore and having him wandless before them, but I beg to
differ on that. Voldemort showed his knowledge of his opponent DD and
the weaknesses that were exploitable in him when he chose Draco for
the job. It was a highly strategic move in a very tightly matched game
of wizard chess.
