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. 


ME:

Harry already experienced this in the past.  There is a passage in PoA where Harry always thought of Dumbledore as being able to fix everything.  But Dumbledore cannot reverse the decision on Buckbeak.  Of course, he does come up with a plan later to change things.  Which is why I think Ddore is in the know during the time-turned repeat of events.  He was thinking up his plan all along of how to fix this matter.

clio44a at yahoo.com again:
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? 


ME:

I think Headmaster of Hogwarts is where he wants to be for several reason.  As such, I don't think he'll ever regret not taking the MoM position.  I think he genuinely likes to teach and deal with the kids.  I think he can have a more protective focus on Harry.  And he can do much more effective work behind the scenes (a la Snape) to accomplish his goals.


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?



Me:

No, he was removed from the Board at the end of CoS.
