Angie again:

Good point about the privacy issue, but Harry is hardly willing to 
believe anything that Snape says.  I also have a hard time picturing 
Harry sitting quietly long enough to hear whatever Snape has to say.  

My last comment is that sometimes issues of security outweigh issues 
of privacy.  If DD feels that information should be given to Harry 
for his own protection, or for the good of the Order, I don't think 
he'd hesistate to divulge it.  Snape, as a member of the Order, 
should be willing to sacrifice a little privacy if it will help bring 
down Voldemort.
