This scene represents my opinions about the hidden lessons being 
taught to Harry Potter and the rest of us.

Harry is feeling pretty low.  He sits in McGonagall's new office 
waiting for her to return and looks at the picture of Dumbledore 
hanging on the wall.  Harry says to himself, 
"How am I ever going to defeat Voldemort?"

Dumbledore looks at Harry and begins to speak.  "Harry, your power 
of Love can help you defeat Voldemort!"

Harry replies, "What do I know about Love?"

Dumbledore replies "We have been teaching you about Love all along.  
Everyone you have met has been teaching you something about love.  
Some teach by their acts of love, and others teach by doing the 
exact opposite.  It's all about our choices."

Harry looks puzzled.

Dumbledore continues


Love is Patient    (unlike Sirius Black)

Love is Kind    (unlike Prof. Umbridge or the Dursleys

Love is not Boastful   (unlike Prof. Lockhart)

Love is not Jealous    (unlike Aunt Petunia)

Love is not Pompous   ( unlike Uncle Vernon)

Love is not inflated    ( like Aunt Marge)  ;0)

Love is not rude   (unlike Prof. Umbridge or Aunt Marge)

Love does not seek its own interest   (unlike Prof. Slughorn)

Love is not quick Tempered   (unlike Uncle Vernon, Prof. Snape, or 
Sirius Black )

Love does not brood over injury   ( unlike Prof. Lupin)

Love does not rejoice in Wrong doing   (unlike Barty Crouch Jr.)

Love rejoices in the Truth     (like Hermione)

Love bears all things   (like Harry Potter)
Love believes all things   (like Harry Potter)
Love hopes all things   (like Harry Potter)
Love endures all things   (like Harry Potter)


"It's about our choices, Harry

"

You don't have to be religious to appreciate these things.
