It's funny given the conversations in other threads here about Hermione's horse comment that that's not brought up with regards to the way she deals with the Centaurs. They themselves flat-out accuse her of trying to use them as basically savage beasts thinking that they have to follow certain rules as she understands them.
Dumbledore's secrecy about the prophecy is probably the single most important thing in OotP. It's behind almost everything--he and Voldemort are like the twin forces causing things to happen the way they do. Them and Harry, but Harry responding more honestly and is being acted upon. Dumbledore's holding all the cards and in every scene he makes things more difficult--even when you'd think any normal person could see it was causing problems. Write a note to Harry or something, you idiot! And that's not even speaking about his plans for Sirius. Is he really so busy throughout the year he can't think of a different plan there?
