So SSSusan suggests:
Well then, by golly, we MUST go back a step further, I say!  The 
blame *clearly* lies with Mr. & Mrs. Dumbledore.  If they'd stopped 
with Aberforth, never *had* Albus, then there would never have been a 
DD to ignore Snape and Bella, to have hired Hagrid, to have allowed 
him to have thestrals and to retrieve Grawpie, who proceeded to bleed 
all over after those centaurs that Albus obviously allowed to remain 
in the forest.

Yes, I say it's all Mr. & Mrs. Dumbledore's fault!

Hee.
