HPB -- will DD bring Harry up to par or string him along per usual?

Regarding Book 6, I see two options:

1)In Book 6, DD reveals everything he knows about the death of 
Harry's parents, Professer Snape, Voldemort, etc., and after that 
point, they find out new information together, or one finds out and 
shares with the other.

2)  DD continues to string Harry along and provides information on 
a "need to know" basis, while Harry finds out just enough on his own 
to continue to put himself and his friends in harm's way.

I prefer option #1, because I would rather see Harry and DD working 
together.  Right now, it's almost like Harry is a hired hand, without 
the pay.  DD needs Harry to kill VM, but refuses to bring him up to 
speed on what happened.  Harry is partly at fault, because he doesn't 
ask enough questions to suit me, but it seems like some things 
shouldn't have to be asked.

Another reason I prefer option #1 is that I'd rather Harry risk his 
life being fully informed.  Perhaps, after the incident at the MOM, 
DD really sees how determined Harry is to do "something" about the 
situation (whatever Harry thinks needs to be done) and will give him 
more guidance/supervision.

Either way, I hope DD reveals more information before the end of the 
book, like in OOP. (I realize that Harry was provided info by Snape 
before the end of that book, but I mean, someone had to keep the plot 
moving, and it couldn't have been DD, since he was avoiding Harry.)

Anyway, my two knut's worth.
