An excellent point. Harry could catch some disease that leaves him bedridden and incoherent for a few days. Or one of his experiments with magic could end with him waking up in the hospital the next day. He's taking an extreme risk here.
Still, this isn't out of character for HPMOR Harry. His inexperience and reluctance to confer with older wizards went a long way to helping Voldemort return.
Oh yeah, its definitely in character, and, also, to be fair, he's a traumatized child and its only been a little while. I'm sure he'll find a way to keep it safe once his mind kicks back into gear.
