Line 476:
**** There are multiple ways to interpret this. He could be saying that there were better members such as those older and more experienced than those three would be who he'd pick. Another would be that he wouldn't want to put them in harm's way. Lastly, he probably doesn't believe they're all that good in a real firefight, as besides Ron and Hermione, he's never seen anyone hold their own under pressure.
**** To be fair, Neville has a tendency to fail at magic (i.e. his family thought he was a Squib for the longest time), Luna has a tendancy to wander off towards shiny things, and Ginny...possibly a flare-up of [[Big Brother Instinct]] directed at her, as he does consider the Weasley's to be like family to him.
** Overall, we have to be fair to Harry and not criticize him for failing to act on information that he didn't have -- indeed, information that Dumbledore apologizes for withholding from him at the end of the book. 'It is possible to send a fake vision' is one of those vital pieces of information that Harry was never clued in on... and as mentioned above, after Harry gets a vision from Voldemort and it turns out to be genuine and its instrumental in saving someone's life, Harry has every rational reason to trust the ''next'' vision he gets from Voldemort, especially if he thinks it's also going to help save someone's life. You can only criticize someone's ignorance if they had the opportunity to learn but were too lazy to try. If other people are deliberately keeping them from having access to the knowledge then its not ''their'' fault, it's the other guy's.
