[Aberforth], you know kind of sibling rivalry sort of thing.  This 
is one aspect of Dumbledore that I absolutely love is his sarcasm.  
It is really refreshing to see a character like him still maintain 
his sense of humor.  Even in turbulent times like the Wizarding 
world is in.

I believe Albus D. uses humor to deflect telling truths he'd rather 
not. One glaring example is his reply to what he sees when he looks 
into the Mirror of Erised...he says he sees himself holding a pair 
of wooly socks. (Too bad he's not a house-elf assigned to clean 
around Hermione...he'd be swimming in socks...)
