Why should Harry have been told more? Because it would have 
furthered the mission, and that's all
that matters.  Human nature says that people work together better the
more they understand what it's all for.  Actually, if Harry had been
made to understand more of what was going on, he could have 
taken "you
can't know that yet" better when it was necessary.

The key sentence here is "Because it would have furthered the 
mission".  That is exactly where DD knew he had failed not only 
Harry but the WW.  He cared too much about Harry - cared too much to 
burden him with the prophecy and thus destroy what little childhood 
Harry had left.  His childhood days were not ordinary for certain 
but he still had a bit of youthful innocence left.  Now he must face 
the fact that he will kill or be killed and the WW depends on him to 
make the right choices during the dark days ahead, an awful lot for 
a boy of 16 to shoulder.
