Janelle:

Taking a little side-step from the general topic of heroes here- I read this part a little differently.  I read it as his feigning indifference and wanting the others to make a fuss over him.  I think he wanted to appear disinterested and as if he were reluctant to help Dumbledore, but really he was enjoying the attention he could get from the others in the process.  I think he had every intention of doing whatever Dumbledore asked of him.
