Au contraire!

People only arrive at these silly conclusions because they think Dumbledore
is *good.* The endarkened among us have long since realized that Dumbledore
is, in fact, Evil and is carefully grooming Harry for some Nefarious
Corruption known only to himself.

We weren't supposed to catch on - but Dumbledore slipped up when he
mentioned his yearning for socks - those infamous symbols of Rot and Decay.

Baaaaaa!
