Dumbledore is a powerful wizard and a good man and  he can dispense
fortune cookie style sayings with abandon but even before OoP his
actions did not seem particularly wise to me.

Tell that to Neville Chamberlain. Never underestimate the stupidity of
politicians.

Why not, people forget important things every day, pilots forget to
put down their landing gear before landing and surgeons forget to take
out their instruments before sowing up patients, and these are things
they knew were important; Harry thought the package was of no
importance and put it out of his mind, he certainly had plenty of
other things to think about. Was it stupid of him not to remember it
months later when he was in a panic? Perhaps, but I can picture myself
making the same mistake.
