Neri, terribly snipped of very compelling viewpoints:

Even the Sorting Hat couldn't tell Harry what
his true nature was.

Snow:

The sorting hat and Trelawney, I believe, both saw what lied within 
the person named Harry Potter, which was Voldemort/Tom Riddle. 

Neri snipped again:
An estimation of Snape's essence is very difficult because we know so
little about him, but I took the risk and published my full analysis
of him only several days ago. This was my POV as a reader, but from
Snape's POV he has the free will to change his choice, for the good
or the bad, despite his nature.

Snow:

To me, the last sentence you made here, Neri, is the essence of the 
books. A person needs the freedom to choose which path and not 
because someone enlightened him to circumstances to sway him in his 
decision. Dumbledore always remains true to allowing others the 
decision of when another should be informed of the difficulties they 
personally have endured. Snape, and everything that he was and is, 
will have to disclose to Harry how he feels when and if the time 
comes that he should do so. Dumbledore blatantly tells Harry that it 
is a matter between Snape and himself when Harry asks about Snape. 
Dumbledore does not divulge another person's private information

that, in Dumbledore's estimation, is up to the individual to disclose 
or not. Neville and his parents, in the same manner, deserve their 
own indulgence.  Dumbledore asks Harry not to disclose the 
information that he had learned until what time Neville was ready to, 
if at all. 

This so reminds me of a particular instance in my own family where my 
niece had become pregnant, and could not
or most likely would not, 
for her own reasons, disclose who the father was. My sister was 
beside herself on what to do mainly because she wanted the assurance 
of who the father was. My sister asked me what to do and I said that 
each person has to live with their own decisions whatever they are, 
if you make a decision for her she will then have to live with Your 
decision. My niece, unfortunately, has to live with another person's 
decision, because of disclosure, and is forced to subject her child 
to a life she would have, in the end, been better off without had she 
had had the choice to do so. 

Let each person make their own decision as to when to disclose 
information or NOT
after all they are the ones who have to live with 
it and sometimes it's not something you want to live with yourself 
let alone share with the world, as is Neville's situation. Neville 
didn't want anyone to know about his parents, but circumstances 
forced it to be known. Neither Dumbledore nor Harry was truly 
accountable for the situation with Neville, it just happened and 
Neville dealt with it. This is as it should be. A situation occurs 
and if left to its own end will conclude on its own if left to its 
own devise. If not, and you become indulgent, you could be a time 
twister instead of a time turner.
