I don't think it was an issue of trust. I think because Harry had been
through such a lot in the previous year DD wanted him to have a bit of
freedom, without any more burdens. Not so much as keeping him in the
dark as giving him space, a last bit of childhood before he had to be
told about the prophecy. Ofcourse this was not what Harry needed, and
I think DD would have realised this if he could have had any real
contact with Harry. But his fear that LV would try to possess Harry
through the connection if he had any close contact with Harry - a fear
that b.t.w. was completely grounded - prevented that.
