zgirnius:
Hi! I think the likely place to look for Dumbledore's boggart is in the 
Cave scene of HBP. The mysterious statements he makes under the 
influence of the glowing green goo suggest to me his greatest fear may 
be that in his role as a leader he will make decisions which lead to 
the deaths of innocents, or someting along those lines.

(This would also be consistent with his desire that Snape kill him to 
save Harry and Draco and remove the Death Eaters from the school 
promptly, assuming that is what he was asking Snape for in the Tower 
scene.)
