Valky:
You are right about that, too. And it's a great twist on the 
ZenMaster character which goes to prove JKR's originality. 
 
I don't think it completely undermines DD's wisdom though. It 
reveals his humanity, and his willingness to face it, but I think we 
just might discover that Dumbledore's admission of failing more a 
right than a wrong.
 
I guess what I am trying to say is that I think even Dumbledore will 
be surprised to find in the end that all was right with his plan.


Alla:

Oooo, Valky. I definitely agree with you on this one. No matter how 
angry I can be at Dumbledore from time to time, I started to love 
him as a character MUCH more than I did prior to OOP. He evolved, he 
showed his flaws, he became MORE human. Another character which 
underwent tranformation  for me was James. I don't like Saint 
characters. I am much more attached to James now than I used to be 
before OOP, because he WAS a saint.

Could you ellaborate a little on your last sentence  though? I used 
to believe for quiite some time now that Dumbledore will discover 
that he was somehow wrong in interpreting the Prophecy ( don't ask 
me how), but you probably meant that Dumbledore's admission to Harry 
that he loved him will somehow play important part in the ending, 
right?

Could you tell me more, please?
