"Oh yeah the taboo. One more thing in which Dumbledore did Harry a disservice was to encourage him to use Voldemort's name"
Pre-DH JKR treated the fear of saying Voldemort's name like it was just a baseless superstition but in DH it turns out that it wasn't baseless at all. What I don't understand is why pre-DH no death eaters suddenly appeared when someone said "Voldemort" or why no one told Harry the reason for the fear of saying Voldemort's name. I mean Surerly people have realized there's a taboo on his name by the time Harry was 11.
"I think Harry is unfair comparing a visit to Xenophilius Lovegood with their visit to Godric's Hollow" Plus if Harry wasn't so dead in the brain he would have thought of asking Xeno about the Ravenclaw horcrux seeing as he knows Luna is a Ravenclaw. Speaking of the Ravenclaw horcrux- according to DH its identity wasn't a mystery at all but common knowledge: Xeno, Flitwick, Mcgonagall,Ravenclaw students knew about about the diadem. There's no way Dumbeldore didn't know about the diadem. And yet that idiot decided not to tell this to Harry.
