Someone really should give a mind to hunting up JKR. I have a list of
questions that would frankly puzzle her. I'd be too afraid to ask
about FourthMan!Avery, though. 

Anyway, Pip, a question about MAGIC DISHWASHER. You lay great stress
on the fact that DISHWASHER Dumbledore relies on Harry making the
right choice in the Shack, thus he's not coercing Harry.

However, I've always found this one of the more disturbing facets of
the whole DISHWASHER theory, and I was never able to put my finger on
it till today. This is it. What if Harry hadn't made the right choice?

I'm reminded of the line from the Lord's Prayer. "And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from all evil." I don't know how I feel
about a Dumbledore who would lead Harry into temptation, give a
thirteen year old boy, who hasn't exactly had the best moral
formation, the chance to do something he would regret for the rest of
his life. 

Any thoughts on this?
