You know, I believe we are just suppose to know that Harry was left 
with an abusive family but yet because of the special person he is 
(his love, not being the prophecy boy) he has survived. He has made 
better choices than Tom Riddle ever did. He has made better choices 
than Petunia and Vernon. He is a great kid. IMO, to dwell constantly 
on how terrible Dumbledore is takes our eyes off of the true evil in 
the books, which is Voldemort and his DE's and what they stand for. 
 


Alla:

Of course Voldemort and his DE are true evil and no, Dumbledore is 
not an evil in my book, he just exhibited a lot of completely idotic 
behaviour ( that is just my opinion of course) AND ( even if this was 
the only option) he left Harry with people who in their own right are 
also evil ( with Voldemort surely being more grand evil and Dursleys 
being more everyday evil so to speak).

So, to make a long story short, I don't think that by considering 
Dursleys being evil, I will forget about evil deeds of Voldie and 
Co. :o)

Oh, and believe it or not, I truly hope that Dumbledore learned from 
his mistakes and his behaviour towards Harry will change. The only 
problem is that I sort of agree with Neri - JKR set up the stage for 
Harry not trusting ANY adult in HBP ( it may very well change at the 
end of the book or not) so, Dumbledore's change of behaviour could be 
too late to stop another disaster ( which one, I have no clue)

I am just speculating of course.
