I couldn't agree more, I was so frustrated with this so 
called "plan", when I finished DH! I know wizards aren't supposed to 
be logical, but that's just ridiculous. Why on earth couldn't Harry 
divulge the truth about the Horcruxes? To think that if he did, the 
battle of Hogwarts could have been avoided altogether and so many 
lives – children's lives among them – would have been spared! If 
McGonagall and the members of DA searched the castle for the 
Ravenclaw's diadem Voldemort wouldn't have been the wiser and the 
whole bloody business could have been averted! 

Not to mention that there is something supremely cynical in the 
assumption that the Weasleys are supposed to risk their lives and 
limbs for Harry, and yet, not to be trusted with any vital 
information. That's just downright insulting.
