I am with Susan on this one.  If Neil, Scott and anyone else continue 
to say that Dumbledore is evil I will turn them into pigs with a wave 
of my pink umbrella.

Seriously though, the thought of Dumbledore being a bad guy is just 
too disturbing to contemplate.  I realize that I am the one that 
suggested that perhaps evil would triumph in the end (i.e. Book 7) 
but NOT THAT WAY!!!!!!

It is odd, though, how Snape gets away with being so incredibly 
unfair.  How could it be possible that Dumbledore doesnt notice, or 
care?  I could see that maybe he thinks being treated unfairly will 
toughen them (Harry & co.) up, but what about Neville?  The way Snape 
treats Neville is just cruel.  It really is hard to understand why 
Dumbledore never intervenes.  But I REFUSE to believe that it is 
because he is a bad guy.
