I just reread this scene again. What exactly did this potion do to 
Dumbledore? Is he reliving something or repeating someone else's 
words?

If the potion is making Dumbledore relive his worst moment what could 
it be?

Is this Snape's confession regarding the Potter's? or is this 
unrelated to Snape?

Was Dumbledore was always good? or was he also given a second chance 
by someone?


Perhaps Dumbledore's worst moment in life had to do with facing up to 
some wrongs he had once committed. 


Does the "Love Room" force you to "face the music?" 

I really want Dumbledore to have always been good, so I welcome 
counter arguments. If Dumbledore is a reformed bad guy then perhaps 
that is why he could not defeat Voldemort and why Harry still can. 

Maybe the key to destroying Voldemort is to have never killed.

(Who is Grindelwald? Please tell me Dumbledore was not this man 
once...)

The Cave:

"I don't want...Don't make me..."

"...don't like...want to stop..."

"No..."

"I don't want to...I don't want to...Let me go..."

"Make it stop, make it stop..."

"No, no, no, no, I can't, don't make me, I don't want to..."

"It's all my fault, all my fault...Please make it stop, I know I did 
wrong, oh please make it stop and I'll never, never again..."

"Don't hurt them, don't hurt them, please, please, it's my fault, 
hurt me instead..."

Please, please, please, no...not that, not that, I'll do anything..."

"No more, please, no more..."

Dumbledore is now screaming:

"I want to die! I want to die! Make it stop, make it stop, I want to 
die!"

"KILL ME!"

Harry: "This--this one will!" gasped Harry. "Just drink this...It'll 
be over...all over!"
