  Interestingly Harry finds himself doing the exact same thing - 
telling only part of the truth - to friends and allies in DH. Even he 
notes he's become like Dumbledore in that respect.

  As for DD he's caught between promises - to tell Harry the truth and 
to keep Snape's confidence - and does the best he can.
