Miles:
Yes and no. Would he hate Voldemort for killing his parents without loving
them so deeply? Would he love them so purely without having lost them at the
age of one?
Just take Sirius as a contrast - would he hate someone for killing his
parents? ;)

Actually I think, that Dumbledore just doesn't tell Harry the whole story.
That is the gap you feel, and I do as well. Not only here, but in general.
About Snape hearing the prophecy (only the first part? the whole one?),
about the connection between Voldemort and Harry (the glimpse of triumph in
his eyes in OotP?), why he trusts in Snape and and and...

The relation of Harry and Voldemort will become THE topic of vol 7. And I
think, we will learn a lot about Dumbledores secrets, and some of them won't
be too enjoyable for Harry.

Expecting!Miles
