Ceridwen:
In HBP, he tells Ron, Hermione, Arthur, McGonagall and Dumbledore about 
his suspicions.  Ron and Hermione at one point are pretending not to 
hear him when he starts bringing Draco up.  McGonagall ends their 
interview and pointedly indicates that he should leave her office.  
Dumbledore brushes him off brisquely (I agree with you, Dumbledore knew 
he was on limited time and wanted to get everything as settled as 
possible).  The only person who listens to him is Arthur, but nothing 
is turned up at Malfoy Manor.

IIRC, and I've had a headache for two weeks so I might not be 
remembering right, Harry has been encouraged to go to adults in at 
least two of the books.  And, he has been encouraged by Hermione to do 
so before HBP.  There may be instances I'm forgetting.
