Eddie:

T'man, I'm sure you are a very nice fellow.  And I find your theory
quite engaging.

But I find myself annoyed whenever anybody uses the phrase "I just go
where the evidence takes me."  To me, it sounds smug and it attempts
to hide that what is being purported is one's interpretation of the
evidence.  Evidence, by itself, has no meaning at all and takes nobody
anywhere at all.

Having said that, here's the fundamental problem I have with your
theory: what is Dumbledore's motivation?  That he's Ever So Evil and
that he, and not Voldemort is the real villain of the story?  I'm
unconvinced.  Entertained by the notion, but unconvinced.
