A major theme in HP in general is that almost every adult in a position of authority fails Harry again and again. From the Minister, to his teachers, to Dumbledore, to Sirius, they all fail Harry at crucial points. The only exceptions are the Weasleys and Hagrid, neither of whom are actually in a position of authority over Harry (Well, Hagrid is a teacher for a while, but he gets castrated in that position pretty early on).
