Finwitch:

As to where he got such weight:

Albus Dumbledore was a teacher, if not the Head Master, to *every*
member of the Order, and to the parents and maybe even the
grandparents of some... (he is 150, remember!)

He's in the Chocolate Frog Cards of famous wizards and witches...

And during all this time, it seems, Albus Dumbledore has not once, as
far as anyone can remember, lied or broken his word. He has made
mistakes, and each time, as soon as he discovered he had made the a
mistake, he takes steps to correct it, if at all possible.
