Hi

I have strong doubts about MD as a explanation for Dumbledore's behaviour.  It would seen GROSSLY irresponsible for Dumbledore to

a) Leave Harry Potter with the dursleys when he needs to learn as much magic as possible.  Snape or Lupin could have made surrogate parents for him instead, Snape providing the angotiam.  Secondly, there are flaws in whatever defences exist round privet drive, as Fred, George, dobby and Mr. Wesley all manage to break in at one point or another.

b) Allow Fudge to remain as MFM when he is at the least incompetent and at worst a dark supporter.  Even if he did not want the job himself, there are a few other people who could have taken is, such as barty crouch.

c) Not to have made any serious attempt to track and catch Vapor!mort.  If Peter can find him, so can Dumbledore.  If the tracker needed the dark mark, snape has one to use. 

d) To have allowed Quraiil to have come to the school carrying Voldemort with him.

e) To have allowed Voldemort's rebirth to re-threaten the WW once again.  

Whatever Dumbledore's motives, to allow hundreds of people, perticuly defenceless muggles, to be slaughtered is a terrible act.  I suspect that Dumbledore is trying to cope with things as they appear, rather than acting to a great plan.
