I don't know. One of the things I remember most in the ravings was him 
saying something like "not them, not them please take me". I can well 
see DD being far more worried about his students than himself. It 
sounded much more like DD that someone else to me. I'm also quite 
certain that DD has been on the receiving end of some bad curses. 
Grindewald remember? We just don't know enough, still, about DD's past. 
He is such a "zen" character that it seems to me that he must have some 
sufferings in his past.
