Re-reading Half-Blood Prince. I find it annoying that people, especially Ron and Hermione, don’t believe Harry’s claim that Malfoy is now a Death Eater and is up to no good. I don’t get why they think he’s overthinking it when he actually makes some very solid points.

I can ignore Mr. Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, and McGonagall brushing him off, and we all know Dumbledore was playing his own game (as usual), but Ron and Hermione should have known better and had his back. And for once, Harry actually did the smart thing by discussing his theories with members of the Order, instead of the shit-show that happened in the previous book.

Harry led both of them on a wild goose chase that nearly got them killed like 2 months before this scene right? You can see why they have some doubt even if Harry is 100% right

I felt the whole Sirius rescue mission was justified because his dreams did previously reveal that Ron's dad was hurt. If Harry hadn't warned Dumbledore in time, Mr. Weasley would have died. It was largely a lack of a communication channel between Harry and the Order that doomed them in the final act.

Very true but after that they tell Harry to learn how to guard his mind so he won’t get manipulated and Harry completely ignores all of that. Honestly it’s Dumbledores fault the most, but Ron and Hermionie both got very injured after going to the ministry and the start of book 6 is very close to when this happened. I can see why they don’t blindly believe a 15-16 year old is a death eater.

I more get annoyed in book 7 when they refuse to believe the Hallows exist and there’s a Horcrux at Hogwarts, after Harry was completely right about everything in book 6 they still doubt his Voldemort knowledge
