Sarah:
I think that could be a bit of a stretch.  It's really just stalling
in my opinion.  Dumbledore can't tell Harry the truth, which is:

1. There are these Deathly Hallow things, see
2. I screwed up really bad with one of them, and as a result...
3. I now have less than a year to live
4. At which time Snape will kill me

Dumbledore's plan from here on out hinges on everyone believing that
Snape is flat out evil.

Sarah:
He probably cares about Hallows falling into the wrong hands, but not
too much, since as far as he's concerned the Elder Wand will have no
owner, and be safe, and no one will ever unite the Hallows.  I think
he just wants Harry to be able to go invisible.  Especially in the
case that Harry might bear witness to Snape killing him.  Dumbledore
couldn't have thought that a certainty, but I'm sure he considered it
as a possibility, and I think things worked out well for him there.
