Dumbledore's upcoming letter

[Miikka R.]

No: HPFGUIDX 139788

Here's another of my pet theories. It's been a very popular thought
all the while that Harry's expertise in magic won't be the deciding
factor   in defeating Voldemort - after all, he wouldn't have honed
his skills near the Dark Lord's level by the end of the seventh book.

Then came HBP and we now know that there's a long and arduous
additional step in the way. Luckily, Harry is determined to achieve
it. Unfortunately, from where I'm sitting he also seems to have gone
insane. He's a teenage wizard, a good one for his age group but no
Gandalf. Locating, retrieving and destroying a Horcurx are three
separate extremely difficult and dangerous projects, and Harry and his
friends are going to do it several times over. The whole situation
reminds me of WWI, where young soldiers learned at the very first
charges that integrity and courage are poor defense against machine guns.

Since it's no use crying over spilt hope, we'll need some way to give
the good guys a fighting chance. Here's a possible solution. DD was a
man of careful planning and extremely difficult to stump, an integral
part of the fight against Voldemort and with full foreknowledge going
into a potentially lethal situation. Put these things together and a
few days into his summer vacation, Harry'll receive an unexpected
letter that goes something like this:

"Dear Harry,

If you are reading this, I am dead. You didn't think that as
Voldemort's other mortal enemy I wouldn't plan for this eventuality,
now did you?

Now then - you're a smart and brave young man, but up against the most
powerful wizard of your time. You can't hope to triumph as you stand
now. Should you end up not being able to return to Hogwarts, here's
how to destroy a Horcrux, a variety of my best tricks and inventions,
the locations of a cache or two of powerful anti-Dark items, what
happened to my hand and everything I know about Lord Voldemort. Happy
hunting, try not to get killed too much.

PS. I was quite serious about the socks.

Albus Dumbledore"
