Lately I've read a lot of posts about Dumbledore, implying that he's 
got another agenda other than what's best for the WW. Yes he may not 
always tell what he's up to, but never so far has he been seriously 
wrong... I could say that Snape teaching Oclumency was a bad idea, 
but it was the best he could do, every time Harry was near DD during 
the OoP he felt LV inside of him, he felt him alive and wanted to 
kill and hurt DD, what good could come out of Harry *hurting* DD? 
Sure he probably couldn't be able to do much harm, but think of 
Harry's ego: I tried to hurt my teacher, the one person that's always 
been there for me, if after Arthur's attack on Christmas he felt 
terrible just imagining he was the snake, how would he feel after 
attacking DD???

A phrase in the LOTR keeps coming to my mind, right near the end 
Gandalf says "my time is over, for I was the enemy of Sauron", I 
think that phrase could also be applied to DD, He IS the enemy of LV, 
LV wants DD out of his way, he's all that's standing on his way. Just 
as Hagrid said "I wouldn't worry too much as long as we have DD 
around" (Sorry don't have my copy right here), it would be fatal for 
the entire WW if DD was to die on book 6, afterwards LV could act 
freely and take over the entire WW. I think DD *is* Gandalf, they 
carry the faith of their worlds on their shoulders, they seem to know 
what's going to happen next and how to change it.

I believe DD knows a LOT more than we believe, he seems to know 
everything that happens in Hogwarts, even before things happen. I 
read somewhere that it could be because frog-cards, and Bill did say 
that DD didn't care if they fired him as long as they kept him on the 
frog-cards. How else could he have known when in PS Harry was 
spending his evenings at the mirror of Erised, and that Harry would 
be in that final encounter with LV/Quirell? I have no idea how DD 
knows the future, but I'm sure he does know what's about to happen.

Hoping I made any sense at all...
