Alla:

Just want to add that Harry DID see Dumbledore being wrong, um, 
several times at least now, so yes, I think it DOES have something 
to do with him trusting DD overall. Not as in doubting his moral 
authority, although, boy, oh boy if I just learned that somebody 
played a part in my parents death and my beloved authority figure 
just in essense told me that my anger means nothing, I would sure 
doubted the moral authority this figure had over me.

But Harry appears to be just as faithful to Dumbledore as he was all 
that time and I am sure he is right, but what Harry does doubt is 
one of the DECISIONS Dumbledore made, that's all.

I really don't see arrogance here AT ALL, it could be a mistake, but 
if this IS a mistake Dumbledore and Snape  IMO have nobody else to 
blame for that mistake of Harry but themselves.

Dumbledore for refusing to tell Harry the reasons he trusts Snape ( 
yes, I know it is plot related) and Snape - well, for treating Harry 
like garbage for six years.

JMO,

Alla.
