OH GIVE ME A BREAK!  DD is not *in a state of panic*.  DD is always 
confident, and optimistic (as you have said yourself).  And I don't 
think that with DD around that Harry is ever in as much danger as we 
all think. I think that DD watches over Harry pretty well.

Alla:

Yeah, that is what he says... I can go with Neri's Dumbledore 
looking in the essence of the person and knowing what the person is, 
but Nope, I disagree that Dumbledore is always watches and manages 
to keep Harry out of harm way.

For example, Dumbledore managed quite nicely to let Harry be 
abducted and be forced to go through Graveyard.

In the batle of MOM we see another "not confident" at all 
Dumbledore. I mean, he may be confident when he battles with Voldie, 
but he is NOT confident at all,when Harry is 
possessed. He seems  scared to me.

"Harry made to run out from behind his statue guard, but Dumbledore 
bellowed, "Stay where you are, Harry!"
For the first time, Dumbledore sounded frightened. Harry could not 
see why" - OOP, p.815, paperback.

So, I really don't see Confident Dumbledore in this scene.

On the other hand, this exchange gives me some hope against 
Manipulative!Dumbledore. It sure does not look to me that Dumbledore 
together with Snape cooked up a plan to "open Harry's mind further 
to Voldemort", because then Dumbledore would not have been 
frightened, IMO.

So, if Snape did that, I think he acted entirely on his own.


Oh, back to Albie. You are not saying that Dumbledore does not make 
mistakes by any chance, do you?

Because he admitted plenty of them to Harry. I can swallow good, but 
very flawed Dumbledore, I absolutely don't see Saintly! and always 
in the right Dumbledore after OOP.


But that is just my opinion, of course and no I don't have my wand 
with me. :o)
