I'm sure we will learn that Dumbledore is only human. Right now Harry 
thinks of him as a god-like being, all-knowing and omnipotent. 

It will be easy for Fudge to dismiss Ddores opinions as the rambling 
of an old madman. Remember how Ddore already has a reputation of 
being being powerful and brilliant, but a bit mad?

I wonder if Ddore will regret that he didn't take the job as Minister 
when it was offered to him in the past. On the other hand Ddore will 
be much less restrained in his actions if he was suspended as 
headmaster, right? 

It would be interesting to see how Hogwarts is functioning without 
Ddore. I actually think there wouldn't be so much of a difference. At 
least not in the perception of the most wizards and the students. 
After all it is just Harry who has this special relation to Ddore.

BTW, is Lucius Malfoy still on the Hogwarts Board of Governors or not?


Clio,
looking forward to learn more about wizard politics.
