Dumbledore is definitely revealed as fallible in OoP, but I don't 
know if I'd characterize him as "creepy" or "scary."  His sanguine, 
even charming, personality in the face of personal danger or insult 
seems to me to represent his supreme [yet not arrogant] self-
confidence.  His temper flares when he has a righteous cause to 
defend -- in other words, it's not ego-driven.

Ron I gotta disagree with you on. He's certainly less than perfect, 
but he ain't no Wormtail.  He's demonstrated his loyalty as well as 
his courage in situations where his life or the lives of his friends 
might be in danger.  He may be a tad wussy in terms of standing up 
for himself when his personal honor is at stake, but when push comes 
to shove he's a good mate to have on yer side.

At least in my opinion.

Umbridge ain't "creepy" as much as downright obnoxious and very 
possibly evil [I think it's going to be revealed that there are 
several Dark Side plants in the Ministry, and it wouldn't surprise me 
a bit if she were one of 'em].
