I come out of lurker-dom because I'm dying to see if anyone else 
likes, loves, adores, worships Dumbledore much more after OoTP.
I did like him before, of course -who wouldn't- but he seemed to be 
mostly in the role of an ancient explainer with a weird sense of 
humor. A distant, somewhat comical figure who also held many of the 
secrets.
In OoTP he's more human and also more of a strong action character, 
with many of the great lines of the book:
--His defiance of Fudge. When he says "ah, yes well there's a little 
snag"... "you see, I'm not going to, what is the phrase 'come 
quietly'" Wow! As Phineas said, this man has style!!!
--His human feelings, talking about his mistakes, how much he loves 
Harry, showing even some fear when Harry tries to move away from the 
statue. And the tear broke my heart.
--We just see more of him at his job: his interviewing a possible new 
teacher (Trelawney), interrogating Kreacher, giving orders to others.
--I'm not a fan of the big fight scene, and I hated the death, but 
Dumbledore had some great moments there. He looked angry, active, 
energetic, powerful. I don't care he's 150 in wizard years, I'm in 
love with that man!!!
