huge snip.

That's precisely the crux of my problem. DD can and does do wrong, and
yet the only Good thing to do is to believe him and follow him without
hesitation. Whoever doesn't do that is wrong. Bummer.


Alla:

I still think it is consistent with Platonic-cristian morality as we 
discussed earlier.

Dumbledore carries many roles in the books. As human being he is 
indeed imperfect, BUT as personification of the Principle of GOOD, he 
is just form and therefore indeed PERFECT, therefore indeed the only 
good thing is to follow himas PRINCIPLE of GOOD without hesitation, 
but we can question his decisions as human being. Am I making sense?
