Cassy:

Well, not sure if I'll make it into 20 words... I
think Dumbledore, though having best intentions, is a
over-self-righteous manipulative person, who enjoys
running other people's lives.

I agree with that, but I think that he tends to abuse
the emotional power this position gives him, not
actually ordering people around, but using their
attachment to him to make them do what he wants. Like
he demonstrated his disappointment to Harry to urge
Harry to get Slughorns memory faster. While Voldemort
sends his minions to possible death using their fear
for him, Dumbledore uses his followers devotion. Of
course, people love him, but lots of people love
Hitler and Stalin too. And both of them claimed they
were "Children's friends". (OK, don't through sleepers
at me for the last passage, it just my most humble opinion)
