Anybody else likes Dumbledore better now? (spoiler)

I think that I've always liked Dumbledore (and the fight scene was 
great), but one of the things that I have yet to see mentioned on the 
boards is what he said at the end. It was kind of awful to realize 
that as powerful and as wise as Dumbledore is, he is capable of 
making mistakes (and this was a big one). The books have set it up so 
that he always has a trick up his sleeves or that he is always a step 
ahead of everybody. Even in OoP, he was aware of the connection 
between Harry and Voldemort and set up the Occlumens sessions. 

Everyone also tried to ingrain into Harry how important this was. But 
his *failure* was not telling Harry the truth and this did prove to 
be a liability. I don't know how things would have changed, but it is 
necessary for Harry to know the truth. Hagrid is always saying as 
long as they have Dumbledore...cause he always saves the day. I don't 
think that I had every considered that possiblity, but that could be 
just my short-falling. He's so important that if he makes a mistake, 
it's a big deal.
