Harry did find out that his Dad wasn't perfect (albiet from a highly 
biased source) and he knew that once Dumbledore was gone he couldn't 
rely on him anymore because he wasn't around. But it wasn't until DH 
that he found out that Dumbledore wasn't perfect. He had to adjust to 
this and realize that Dumbledore was human. Highly intelligent and 
powerful but still human.
