some degree, until the end of GoF.  It was Fudge, after all, who met 
Harry at the Leaky Cauldron, not DD.  

Snow:

The quote you are referring to, DuffyPoo, can be found in GOF The 
Parting of the Ways pg.705 & 706 U.S.

"Listen to me, Cornelius," said Dumbledore, taking a step toward 
Fudge, and once again, he seemed to radiate that indefinable sense of 
power that Harry had felt after Dumbledore had Stunned young 
Crouch. "Harry is as sane as you or I. That scar upon his forehead 
has not addled his brains. I believe it hurts him when Lord Voldemort 
is close by, or feeling particularly murderous."
 
Fudge had taken half a step back from Dumbledore, but he looked no 
less stubborn. 

"You'll forgive me, Dumbledore, but I've never heard of a curse scar 
acting as an alarm bell before..."

Hope this helps!
