Alla:

Harry forgot to tell Dumbledore that Draco kicked Trelawney out - 
something that **may** have caused Dumbledore to do something about 
Draco or not, so I am not sure about handling situation badly. 

And his anger at Snape about **accident that happened long time 
before** I consider to be a righteous anger at someone who took part 
in his parents death, so if this anger is what prevented Dumbledore 
from taking him seriously, than Dumbledore is even lesser man than I 
think. IMO of course.

I think that what prevented Dumbledore from taking him seriously is 
Dumbledore insistence that he knows better how to deal with Draco. 
Ooops.

IMHO of course.
