Wicked Talisman explains all:

You know LL, there are a lot of people who consider their (various 
iterations of)God to be the *epitome of goodness,* as well.

This, notwithstanding the Almighty's apparent tolerance for--or,as 
you would have it, *silent assent to*--a great deal of innocent 
suffering in this world.

Inasmuch as Rowling has indicated a *Xian* (though presumably not 
standard issue) level to her tale, you might try crediting her with 
engaging this difficult question, not at all of her own invention.
 

Talisman, pointing out, yet again, that the HP series is written 
predominantly in Romance mode, wherein DD is most certainly the 
displaced god.  (He isn't an actual god, because this isn't mythology 
proper, but he serves the literary purpose.)
