Plan. I think the plan Dumbledore had is to keep Harry safe no 
matter what and to help him prepare for the battles to come. I am 
not sure Dumbledore had more detailed plans than that.

And Dumbledore keeping Sirius out of action deliberately, degrading 
him in Harry's eyes deliberately, I disagree completely.

I would be the first one to say that Dumbledore was very wrong to 
keep Sirius in Grimmauld place thus contributing to his depression ( 
NOT to his death, but to his depression - IMO absolutely), but I 
will raise you the same objection that I will raise to Dumbledore 
leaving Harry with Dusleys to train him with Dursleys abuse.

Dumbledore must have considered the possibility that Harry will 
learn of these plans one day and I think Harry may seriously 
reconsider giving his loyalties to Headmaster who deliberately harms 
his Godfather or who tries to train Harry with Dursleys help.

Now, Dumbledore who desperately tries to keep both Harry and Sirius 
alive while in the process ignoring the very nature of his 
characters, yes, this Dumbledore I see in the books.

IMO,
