itself is almost as much DD's fault as the ferret's since he took no
actions to stop it or prevent it. Then, the megalomaniac has a
burial monument placed conspicuously on the Hogwart's grounds,
something no other headmaster had the ego to do.  If I was Bill and
found out that DD did NOTHING to prevent the battle, I would
probably go a p--s on the old fart's grave.  When book 7 is out and
we've had time to "digest" all the happenings from 1 to 7, I REALLY
want someone to explain all of DD's action as being wise and caring--
beginning with dropping a baby off at someone's doorstep in the dead
of night.  To me, we will never understand DD or SS based on whether
they are good or bad-they had a lot of DARK in them if you ask me.

Dumbledore answered this question for us already.  He knew that if
Voldemort suspected that Dumbledore suspected Draco, then he would
have just killed him.  The Order was called in full force that night
as Dumbledore stated to bring protection for what was bound to
happen.  Its alot like Harry, I was wondering why Dumbledore puts
him in so much crap, but I think I have the answer.

The charm he used to protect Harry must be absolute, it makes sense
as far as why DUmbledore would put him in such situations if it was
guarenteed that Harry would survive...perhaps?

As far as those in danger, Dumbledore says something like, "what do
I care if numerous nameless and faceless people are killed if in the
here and now you are happy and alive and healthy.  Take that for
what its worth, but since Dumbledore knows Harry is the only one who
can vanquish the Dark Lord, protecting and nurturing that seems
admirable.
