I hope your right, but I was just thinking that Dumbledore's words  
could be JKR's way of giving DD his last confession.

Dumbledore has been set-up by JKR to be almost Saint-like from the 
first book. But is he?

In every book there is always someone who is revealed to be someone or 
something else. The good guys are the bad guys and vise versa; and 
people are always using polyjuice to change from one person to 
another. 

Moody is Crouch Jr., Harry and Ron are Crab and Goyle, Grab and Goyle 
are girls.  Tom Riddle is the perfect student and Hagrid let the 
monster out. (And forget about Snape, he annoys me just as much as 
Trelawny's prophecies.) 

We are so busy considering everyone else's motives that we never even 
look into Dumbledore's role in all this. Where did he come from, and 
what is his stake in all this? 

Was he given another chance by someone? Is that why he gives everyone 
else second chances? Was his soul saved? Is part of his penance that 
he has to convert others? Does Dumbledore represent St. Paul?
