Didn't Harry JUST learn a lesson about not keeping secrets and assuming he's smarter than the rest of the world put together?
I was thinking the same thing. If I were Harry I would call Moody and McGonagall to the headmistress' office and spill everything. As a side-note, I think Moody would rather appreciate Voldemort being taken down by stuporfy.
Well, he also learned a lesson about not keeping secrets, in the way he told to Voldemort about the Deathly Hallows.
Problem is parts of his agenda (eg keeping Voldemort alive in transfigured form) don't line up with the likely agenda of the others.
Nah, with horcruxes around, that's by far the best solution.
I can see him believing that it would be very difficult to get them to agree regardless.
Though, given the Drought of Living Death...
Naw, they still wouldn't want to leave him in Harry's care. Plus, then they might get all of his magical secrets (including Harry's (soul/mind's) magical heritage, rather than leaving them for Harry to use. Or they might Obliviate everything, depending on whether their paranoia wins over their greed.
Yes, that's a more direct objection.
I assumed he was just trying to keep it a secret from the masses. I don't know if he planned on telling the people who'd realize that what actually happens wouldn't be such a big spectacle, but I figured he at least accounted for the fact that they'd realize it.
