Good point.  The whole Grindelwald thing has always irked me because 
I think there may be more to find out about his defeat.  Maybe Tom 
Riddle had been a young follower of Grindelwald while he was at 
Hogwarts & that's how he learned to master so many of the dark arts?  
Dumbledore certainly didn't teach Tom the unforgivable curses, etc 
Then once Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, Riddle realized that there 
was an immediate job opening for most evil wizard alive... I wonder 
if Grindelwald is an ancestor of one of the living characters? 

Me:
Ok.. I've been biting my tongue for so long it's got a hole clean 
through it now. I've been sitting on this 
Voldemort/Dumblydore/Grindelwald/Harry theory of mine for awhile now 
because it sounds way out there and I'm probably further from reality 
than possible. I do think Voldemort was a follower of Grindelwald. I 
think Grindelwald "primed" Voldy if you will. Dumblydore defeated 
Grindy. He's also got that scar on his knee of the London Underground 
(SS). The similarities between Dumblydore/Grindy and Harry/Voldy are 
very similar if you sit down and compare and contrast the two. I 
think Voldy is scared of Dumblydore because he defeated his mentor of 
sorts. Dumblydore is priming Harry in a way. He knows Harry is the 
only one that can defeat Voldy. Not him. He's just trying to 
indirectly guide him through the how to of it. It's like its all 
happening all over again full circle.
