I don't know. The person who started the thread "the cave" (up a little bit) had the same 
question -- he/she omitted the "don't hurt them" quote, which I find really the most 
interesting of the series. the "don't make me, don' tlike, I don't want to, make it stop" -- 
well, all that makes sense in context (not wanting to drink the stuff). But the "it's all my 
fault, I did wrong, I'll never again, don't hurt them, hurt me instead" -- THAT does not 
make sense in context. He is seeing something, channelling someone ... but WHAT, 
Who....?

Similarly, at the tower, in the talk with draco, Dumbledore says he came back to hogwarts 
"after a fashion" and that "yes and no," Draco's plan to lure him there worked. I am still 
trying to figure out this hedging, since on the face of it, he DID clearly come back and the 
plan DID work. So what's with the cryptic language?

Yes, yes, how did that potion get in there again, how did Regulus (or whoever RAB is) get 
the locket, did kreacher help him, did the potion kill him? But howcome the potion's still 
there (no mention of it refilling itself after dumbledore finishes it)... did RAB put it there, 
and why... was the POTION the Horcrux (in which case, again, how'd RAB get the original 
locket) ... ??????
