Surely it was not Harry for whom Dumbledore gave his life, it was Draco: Harry's invisible and immobilised and thereby not at risk. But Dumbledore was prepared to die, not for one of the good guys, the prophecy boy who he hopes will finally deal with Voldemort, but for the "worst" child of all, the one who had always espoused Voldemort's ideas, who had actively plotted to kill him.

Something which I found to be a very powerful message.
