'Dumbledore actually a bad guy' theories

I fall in the group that says that Dumbledore is a good guy. Currently.

However, I have also seen stories where characters who really were
'good' early in stories, succumb to some kind of temptation - including
temptations to do things that they think are necessary to fight the
enemy in the story, but which actually put the good character more in
line with the enemy than opposed to the enemy.

So it is at least possible that if things go really bad, Dumbledore
might lose the nobility McGonagall ascribes to him in the first chapter
of the first book (remember all the way back to that?  That's why I
think he is indeed totally good at present) and in desparation adopt
some dark magic practice to fight Voldy, which in fact tempts him to the
dark side.
(And Vader is not just Luke's father -- Luke is actually a clone of
Anakin - that' s my theory - remember the Clone Wars?  That's why the
face in the mask on Dagobah looked like himself, in Luke's vision)

At any rate, although it does make for good drama in the story, I think
we need more foreshadowing than we have had if JKR is going to swing
this way.  So for now I am on the side of AD being good, and I will be
disappointed if this is what she has up her sleeve.
