Whenever Harry excluded his friends and tried not to have anything to do with them is simply outrageous. I mean Harry is going through a rough time and is trying to deal with Voldemort and he just moves his friends aside like they don't exist.

Also why had Dumbledore just made sure that Harry knew nothing that was going on in the wizarding world at the time? It was a good theory but shouldn't Harry be trying to help out with the Order instead of being made to keep in the shadows? I like Dumbledore but why should Harry have to stay away from something that only he can really stop?



Respectfully Submitted,

When was this? I don't recall any incident before OOTP where DD allowed Harry to use his connection with Voldemort around him.


I should rephrase. Dumbledore was aware of the connection as far back as COS but did not think it was harmful until Voldemort became aware of it.

And I agree with your post. Harry did not shut his friends out. They, under Dumbledore's orders, shut him out when he most needed them. They were very contrite about it, and I think understood why Harry was angry. I do wonder if the Advanced guard was something that the Order decided to do and Dumbledore agreed after the Dementor to keep Sirius from going to get Harry himself?

It occurs to me that Dumbledore's accusation of Sirius's recklessness came at such a moment--Sirius might have wanted to bring Harry in the first day he moved in and Dumbledore made the secret keeper charm on 12 Grimmuald Place.
