wynnleaf,

I wanted to clarify.  In the context of the question I was answering
and the discussion at the moment, we were talking about Harry's giving
any credence or acknowledgement of Snape's part in saving his life
(and those of his friends in OOTP).  My point was regarding DD's
telling Harry about Snape saving his life in SS/PS and Snape's part in
sending the Order to the MOM in OOTP.  This is factual info, not
opinion on DD's part.  Yet Harry pays no attention to it at all. 
Certainly, I agree that one listens to others opinions and decides
what to agree with and what not to.  But if Harry believes DD at all,
and supposedly he does, he still gives no acknowledgement when DD
gives him those facts about Snape.  So it's not DD's *opinion* Harry
was disagreeing with, it was the factual info that DD was giving him
that Harry disregarded.
