Harry was even told that Lupin and Moody had been commanded to give him any help that he might ask, but he still thought he ought to do it all himself. That was Harry's "thirst to prove himself" talking, not Albus Dumbledore. 

Alla:

I thought of something else, so if as you claim what Dumbledore *really* meant was that Harry is allowed to ask for help of anybody he deems trustworthy, why exactly did he even say that?

Why not to say : Harry, please you can ask for help of anybody you think you can trust. No, I think Dumbledore made his directions perfectly clear. He "asked" (very nicely as he usually does) that Harry shared it only with Ron and Hermione and Harry as dutiful soldier obeyed.

Of course, it is IMO also in light with Dumbledore thinking that he, the mighty one, can not trust nobody or only few people who are deemed worthy to share his vision. I think Dumbledore wanted Harry to be exactly like him, despite that he claims at the end that he wanted to slow Harry down first in his asinine wisdom  to see that he is not tempted by Hallows.
