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.
