Now I don't agree. If a supposedly smart 15 year old cannot understand
why it is a bad thing the main enemy has a direct connection to his
mind, he deserves to be kept in the dark. This level of stupidity is
frankly downright dangerous. Besides if someone cannot understand this
very simple fact, what else do they need to have spelled out for them
which is so very, very obvious? If Harry were five, yes, telling why
would have been necessary. But he is 15! 

I agree that DD should have told more. But here it was Harry who was
entirely to blame for his unwillingness to understand. I don't believe
that LV's influence reaches much beyond the dreams.
