I was thinking for along time before I decided to post my question so 
everyone please be kind.  I know that we all assume that Dumbledore 
is a great guy but do we really know that much about him. I was 
watching a movie on King Arthur and they said some stuff on how he 
was concieved and decided to look more of it up and here is a little 
bit of what I found:

"After his death, Ambrosius was succeeded by his brother, Uther, who, 
during his pursuit of Gorlois and his irresistable wife, Ygerna 
(Igraine or Eigr in some texts), back to their lands in Cornwall, was 
aided by *Merlin*. As a result of a deception made possible by 
*Merlin's* powers, Uther was transformed into the image of Gorlois. 
He entered their castle, managed to fool Ygraine into thinking he was 
her husband, had his way with her and in the course of things, 
conceived a child, Arthur. Poor Gorlois, not knowing what was going 
on, went out to meet Uther in combat, but instead, was slain by 
Uther's troops."

Now I know that I'm somewhat in left field, but JKR did say that 
things aren't always what they seem.  But my question is it possible 
that Dumbledore has his own agenda? 
Please be nice with the postings.
