Shining Beacon of Hope. He does have that twinkle at then end of book 
4, but more importantly I can't trust a man who had 11 years and more 
magic at his disposal than the WW's gov't who didn't do anything to 
ensuring Riddle's demise. No, no, instead he waited for a baby to 
grow to age 11 and demanded he become a murderer (Quirrell--not that 
I won't have killed him), be responsible for the well-being of 
everyone at Hogwarts (book 2 & 3), killing Riddle (5 & 6), and saving 
the world in general--but don't forget to hand in that potion's essay 
you know how Professor Snape gets.

DD has done quite a few things that seem best on the surface, but 
another, more sinister interpretation also exists for each one. For 
example: 

Leaving HP with the Dursleys (backstory and PS/SS): ostensibly so he 
wouldn't grow up the Boy Prince, but really this should have stunted 
his emotional growth and, in any other person but our wonderful 
Harry, would have produced a sociopath who would have killed without 
mercy, perhaps recreating Tom Riddle's tortured past in a *Boys from 
Brazil* kinda way. 

Withholding Occlumency lessons (OotP): ostensibly to conceal their 
*special* relationship, but leaving Snapey in charge of Harry's 
lessons and never even checking up or having someone else check up 
meant that HP actually received no training and was, well, an open 
book for Tom Riddle to read all about the Order and the DA and how to 
kill Sirius. 
 

The Organ Grinder has to be someone who is introduced early, 
otherwise the reversal will have no impact. Bringing in a new, 
hitherto-unknown person at then end of Book 6 or sometime in Book 7 
would not have the impact of a betrayal.

Also, in the logical vein, the Grinder is probably someone from the 
original Order who is reprising his/her role as mole / Secret 
Mastermind. DD fits this.

Also, DD is the only one LV ever feared. Did Voldy fear him so much 
because DD was his master?
