For this reason, I do too, although I don't like him, and I don't think 
there's some deep wellspring of human compassion underneath it all. However, 
this whole "trusting because Dumbledore trusts," while it obviously works 
with Hagrid, Sirius and Lupin ... well, obviously Dumbledore trusted Quirrell 
... and Lockhart ... so his judgment's not infallible ...
