I say:
I'm completely agreeing with Snuffles on this one. 
Think about the speech Dumbledore gave at the end of
year feast in GoF.  About how LV murdered Cedric.  And
his conversation with Sirius about gathering the "old
crowd" back up to fight LV.  He is completely aware of
the threat of LV's return.  He knows that until the
MoM believes that LV has returned to power, that he is
the only person fighting this battle.  IMHO, I think
it's an insult to Dumbledore and all the wisdom and
character that we have seen of him to even suggest
that he's disillusioned about the threat of LV or that
he would *ever* find humor in the events.
