Alla:

That is  PRECISELY what is not believable to me. I believe that JKR 
hits us  very strongly with " murder hurts the soul" metaphor and
that 
is why it is not believable to me ( only my opinion of course) 
that "epitome of goodness" would ask anybody to hurt their soul for
any 
purpose.

Alla:

I am sure we can speculate that Dumbledore COULD have find out 
anything. To me the fact of the matter is that he had no clue that 
Sirius was not a secret keeper.

In fact he testified at the hearing that Sirius indeed was a secret  
keeper.
To leave Sirius in Azkaban knowing that he is innocent would suggest
to 
me a very dark Dumbledore indeed, but I don't remember any proof to 
that.


Colebiancardi:
 He also had no problem convincing Flamel to

Alla:

Did he though? Or did he do what JKR suggested in interview he
usually 
does? Let Flamel figure things on his own after their little chat?

And I would like to say it again - there are things worse than death 
per Dumbledore, but I don't remember him saying that there is a thing 
worse than murder.

Just my opinion,
