Alla:

It seems that Yahoomort yesterday had a tasty snack made of my post, 
so I am going to say something similar to what I was saying yesterday.

I do **not** want to not feel sympathy for Dumbledore. 
Notwithstanding what I consider to be his multiple mistakes and 
wanting to slap him multiple times, I still think of him as well 
meaning man, hehe.

I just cannot think of man who suffered as badly as Dumbledore seemed 
to be in the Cave as man without compassion. Or at least I hope not.

What I refuse to do is to justify Dumbledore's mistakes as the 
correct cause of action especially when he himself confesses to 
making them.

To bring it back to this topic, I cannot help but wondering, maybe DD 
indeed had this conversation with Snape and nothing came out of it?

It would certainly make me feel much better, although I doubt it 
judged by the fact that in the books we see DD actually trying to do 
something about their animosity not earlier than OOP.

Duh! So,Headmaster did you watch Harry or did you not?

JMO,
