Sherry now:
Yes.  DD lost his glow for me forever with confirmation in DH, that he had
known Draco's task all along and had just let a potential murderer run amuck
in a school full of children, even nearly killing two of them.  The oh so
touching scene in the King's cross chapter of DH did nothing to repair DD's
image for me.  His actions were unforgivable for me, both in asking Snape to
kill him, in letting Draco run loose in the school and, well, don't even get
me started on Harry!  I had begun having some doubts about DD ever since we
learned about Sirius' history, but the revelations in DH finished him for
me.
