Please forgive me if this has been discussed, but I searched and could not
find anything on this topic.

I was just listening to GoF, and something caught my attention. The part
where Harry is in Dumbledor's pensive and Harry listens to Dumbledor and
Madeye talking. When the dementors walk into the room, we are reminded that
Dumbledor hates the dementors. We know, and can understand, that no one
likes them, but Dumbledor has a particular dislike of them. I wonder if
Dumbledor, like Harry, has an especially bad memory that causes him to feel
this way about the dementors. If so, I wonder what it will be. Do any of you
have any thoughts? Or know of a thread that you can point me to that
discusses this?

As a side thought, what do we know about Dumbledor's brother, Abaforth? And
do you think he will come into the story at all?
