Was Justin preparing Harry to learn necromancy?

Something must have happened to accelerate his plans...

I agree, enthralling them doesn't square with the rest of his time with Harry. Given that he was a known associate of Margaret, I don't buy the "flipped a switch" reasoning. Something bumping up the time tables makes more sense. The fact that the HWWB ritual is on a clock strikes me as relevant.
kazimmoinuddin:
If he truly was being prepared to learn necromancy, then he would at least be well versed in ectomancy.
Phariah:
I dunno. to me he was teaching a weapon. evocations/ attacking/ defending, a warrior. I mean harry says he is good at thaumaturgy, but he is a natural at evocations if I recall correctly (generating/ moving energy I think it was.)
Rasins:
I chalked it up to teen-aged rebellion, that Justin didn't take into account. Though having his timetable pushed might have something to do with it too.
Mr. Death:
It's a mostly-universal truth that people forget what they were like as kids. That's why a lot of kids in TV shows are written really unrealistically -- the writers don't remember what real kids are like, so they write them as either miniature adults, or as idiots.
That's for people who haven't been teenagers for 10-20 years. Apply that to someone who hasn't been a kid for 100 years.
I would find it totally believable that Justin just didn't factor in teenage rebellion.
