Yes, that is a fair enough( n very much expected) argument..sort of thing that Dumbledore would do..allowing Harry to prove his worth..hmm..but still it seems a lot was left to chances and probabilities unnecessarily..its not like harry hasn't proved his worth and devotion b4 undertaking the horcrux task..it was done on countless occasions time n over again..so it still feels little odd that Dumbledore didn't give the information n clues directly to Harry..however, there is one more thing that needs to b considered, Dumbledore didn't trust Harry completely n he had good reason too..only Dumbledore was aware that Harry himself was a horcrux..but still somehow Dumbledore expected (although he wasn't completely sure of it) that harry would even go as far as sacrificing his own life when the time came..Dumbledore's excuse for not telling Harry about the deathly hallows was that he feared that Harry's hot head might dominate his pure heart..it was even more so bcoz Dumbledore himself was infatuated with the hollows during his teenage.. but again he seriously underestimated harry there..in fact Dumblefdore could have helped harry in finishing the task of horcruxes sooner by letting in harry about the secret of hallows and his ancestry ..bcoz the time consumed by hallow obsession would have been reduced by Dumbledore's guidance as opposed to Hermoine's judgement n insistence who herself wasn't sure of hallows or anything pertaining to it..they were after all just 3 teenagers fighting for the entire wizarding n muggle world alike.. it wasn't the time for taking tests but the time for aiding in the quest as far as possible.. it is even more frustrating bcoz of Dumbledore's talking-breathing portrait in headmaster's office at Hogwarts which could have easily helped the leading trio if it really wanted to without giving away Snape's double agent role..sadly here, Dumbledore's logic n reasoning failed!.. n what's more?.. Dumbledore himself accepted it!!; which melted away Harry's frustration with him but unfortunately it didn't have the same effect on me..😕
But finally it all comes down to just one fact - making the read even more intriguing, thrilling n suspenseful as opposed to straightforward , plain and boring.. all hail J K Rowling!! 👏
