I should have been clearer: it is only beneficial for him to ask. Option 1: he knows where they all are, and in this case he finds out whether Dumbledore knows as well. Option 2: he doesn’t know where they are, and has resorted to things like asking HPJEV how he would hide things, with the goal of narrowing down things he’s forgotten.
But I see your points. Thank you for helping me de-muddify my thoughts.
