Like probably everyone else in this group I have been re-reading the 
books in preparation for book 7.

Something struck me in book 6 which I think I thought about the first 
time but not so strongly.

When Dumbledore and Harry went to the cave to find the Horcrux it was 
more evident than ever just how inexperienced Harry is.  When DD was 
working out how to get through Voldemort's barriers he could tell 
where magic was and could also interpret how to get through.

How did Dumbledore learn all of that in the first place?  Who showed 
him how to detect residual magic?  Or how to detect and work out how 
to get through dark magic?  Was it that DD had an effective DADA 
teacher when he was at school?

What do others think about how this will affect Harry's ability to be 
able to defeat Voldemort.  Do you think he knows more than he 
realises?  

I'm looking forward to reading what others may thing of this.

Jo.
