Henry I think would make more of a choice to confide in as he gets older. He'll probably be 12 next season and that's getting closer to an age where they could actually lean on each other a little at times. Before he was really at a doofus younger brother age. Also, not to knock Paige, but I think all the times I can recall where she's tried to start these big conversations with Henry, he's been in pajamas or asleep, like when she wakes him up with her hairbrained idea mom and dad didn't come home and actually they're in the bedroom getting busy. Plus, when Henry has been the more sensible and mature of the two of them despite the age difference (I'm thinkig the hitchhiking incident) Paige has basically brushed him off. So it's not really hard to see how over time, Paige may have trained Henry to think she overreacts to everything and there's no point in taking her seriously.
