Also,

We have seen time and time again that Harry does not tell DD all that
he knows. He holds back information that could help him if he only
told DD.

DD also tells Harry to tell his friends about the what was said to
him in the prophecy.  He knows that Harry was not going to tell them
but said that this was something they need to know.
