As I said , if this is the reason, which I am inclined to agree 
with, I will buy it.

I will buy Dumbledore's sufferings because he sees Harry abused and 
cannot interfere in fear for his life.

What I don't buy is that Dumbledore who left Harry with Dursleys for 
the purpose of teaching him a lesson that life is hard  and children 
are abused  in such life all the time, can be called a wise man 
and "epithome of goodness".
