Sarah:
Oh yes, I agree with you there.  What I'm still confused about is all 
the other stuff in Dumbledore's ramblings at the cave.  All the 
"Don't make me..." etc.

There are three options I can think of.

1.  This is the present-day Dumbledore, referring to drinking the 
potion.  He's fading in and out between the present and the 
Grindelwald fight.

2.  He's referring to Grindelwald *compelling him to do something.*  
This is the option I find most sinister.

3.  He's simply asking Grindelwald not to force him to fight against 
him, because, true love.  Hey, that reminds me of something.  From 
OOTP:  "'Ah, Evans, don't make me hex you,' said James earnestly."

James and Albus: matching Gryffindor jerks each with their own Potter 
namesake episprog?
