Aberforth Gives Up

Hey guys. I apologize for the lack of posts lately. I have tons of ideas, but I was in a car wreck and my concussion has limited my activities. I still have the concussion, but I'm at a place where I can actually think again.

Moving on . . .

Recently I read and watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. (Part Two of the movies) and Aberforth caught my attention. Harry may be angry and frustrated with Aberforth for saying that the Order is over because Voldemort has won, and forcing Harry to come to terms of his doubts about Dumbledore he's experienced throughout this book/movie.
     In the end, however, Harry finds his belief once again and challenges Aberforth, claiming he has given up.
     Hermione of course points out that maybe Aberforth hadn't given up at all.

But why?

What does Hermione see in Aberforth that no one else can?

It is possible that through the whole ordeal, Aberforth was testing Harry by pretending to have given up.
     Do you still believe in and trust Albus?
     Are you going to finish what Albus asked you to do?
     Are you ready to finish finding and destroying Horcruxes?

The reason I say this is because, through the broken mirror piece, he watches over Harry several times.

Also, he is working with Dobby. Why? Because Dumbledore asked Dobby to assist Aberforth in leading Harry Potter towards the very end. This is a plausible assumption because Aberforth admits to liking Dobby, meaning they had at least known each other long enough to determine that they like one other.

Aberforth, then, becomes the point of no return. He gives Harry the option to run away, encouraging him that the best option is to run away. Also, through speaking with Aberforth, he rediscovers his trust and admiration for Professor Dumbledore so that Harry can follow through on the task of making Voldemort mortal once more.

I realize that this is just me guessing, but I think it is a valid possibility.

Thoughts?
