AACK! This concept is making my head hurt. I'm fairly sure (though I 
don't have the web link memorized) that in one of her interviews JKR 
stated something very much like "Dumbledore represents everything 
good" or "Dumbledore is the personification of good". (Help, 
somebody!) I would like to trust what JKR has said about this. 
Usually when she wants to have a "fudge factor" (pardon the pun), she 
hems and haws about things, but IIRC there was no hemming or hawing 
involved in that particular instance. Evil!Dumbledore is simply not 
something my brain can accommodate, anyway.

BTW - side note to Gail and Amy Z - thanks for the callouts! Since I 
barely contribute to this group, I was shocked and befuddled to see 
TWO filks dedicated to me, and on the same day! (The other 5,540 
people are probably wondering about that as much as I am :-)
