2. The tower scene with DD and Draco. DD says " No Draco, it is my
mercy and not yours that matters now". What is THAT about? DD
sounds like God there. All I can say is *Huh???*


Casmir-
I believe Dumbledore could "kill" "immobilize" (whatever) Draco at any 
moment.  He may be weak, but he's still got something in him...he was 
able to freeze Harry, right?  

I think Dumbledore was commenting on the arrogance of a 16 yr old who 
thinks his infantile hold on things is strong enough to overcome "the 
greatest wizard who ever lived".  I think his weakened state just puts 
him equal with everybody else, at most.

I think Dumbledore was always able to defend himself.  He either 
arranged something with Snape, or allowed Snape to make his decision; 
which ever it was Dumbledore remained true to himself in that he puts 
people (souls) first.

If Dumbledore sounds like a God, it's only because he is dealing with 
so many who are inferior to him; whom he has shown unrelenting 
tolerance to his whole life.  Unlike some one else we can't name.
