Dumbledore's Worthless

[JLyon]

No: HPFGUIDX 184793

Dumbledore is shown making suggestions to the Minister. He does not  
push his view. He is not seen standing up to the Wizengamot and  
outlining what needs to be done. We do not see any signs that he is  
working behind the scenes to get the DEs out of the Wizengamot or the  
Ministry. He never calls in the IAW, or whatever he is a member or  
head of. He never calls in the Dark Arts Defense League (which could  
be international, we don't know).
The point is, we never see him do anything other spend his time  
keeping Harry in Dursleyban under 24/7 "suicide" watch (and as  
separated from his friends as possible) and setting up his next "fun  
time" for Harry. He doesn't train Harry and he doesn't educate Harry  
(don't even think to call those pensieve moments "education."
The man has tons of political power and we never see him use it. The  
man has his own army and never takes the fight to the DEs. All he  
does is as little as possible to keep the world going until Harry can  
give up his life for the greater good. Remember that Bumble's whole  
"plan" is to have Harry allow himself to be killed. Why waste time  
training Harry when his whole reason to exist is so that he can be  
killed.
The man seems to have known since he spent that mysterious 24 hours  
with baby Harry that Harry was a horcrux, and yet he wasted all those  
years doing nothing so that Harry could have his wonderful scavenger  
hunt.
I would say that Harry's second year shows how little Dumbledore is  
willing to do. Children are dropping like bowling pins and he can't  
even figure out about the basilisk. This is with his mastery of  
Legillimency not detecting Quirellmort or the fraud that was  
Lockhart. Reading any one of the books (or all of them) leads one to  
conclude that Dumbledore is either totally incompetent or all is  
going according to his plans.
