Torsten:

While I agree that Dumbledore being really good is beyond doubt, I think his speech to the students can be interpreted negatively. He says 
"remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort." When I first read 
this, it sounded to me like "Kids, if you try to be good, and kind, and brave, you will die, so better be not."


Me:

That's *such* a twisted way of interpreting Dumbledore's words! He was pointing out to the students how terrible Lord Voldemort was (I'm sure you knew that <grin>). Of course, one can turn any phrase inside out...
