Exactly. Every moment where Snape and Harry begin to make motions of thinking for themselves, Dumbledore finds ways to distract them, to utilise their anger for his cause. Really, I can't say this any better than you. I love how you phrase concepts by no means simple so succinctly, so comprehensively. I need to read your fic.
And I very much hope that you are recovering from recent events. My thoughts are with you.
