I agree that Prof D didn't *specifally* *permit* that Harry go after the 
Stone, but in canon, it says (Ch. 17 SS/PS, page 302 US edition) "...I think 
he sort of wanted to give me a chance....I reckon he had a pretty good idea 
that were going to try, and instead of stopping us, he just taught us enough 
to help. I don't think it was an accident that he let me find out how the 
mirror worked....."
  So, that may mean exactly what comes to the brain, but, if yout hink about 
it, it kind of sounds like Dumbledore *knew* the Stone would be gone after 
by Voldemort, so he practically told Harry that he could get it.
  I don't know.... This is just a thought that has been on my mind for a 
while, and I could be completely wrong about Dumbledore, not that I'm 
judging, but, like I said, that thought has been on my mind lately. It could 
go either way.
  Comments? Thoughts? Ideas?
