DD's plan -- Minister of Magic

[James Lyon]

No: HPFGUIDX 189136

I do not understand. If the Ministry released the Dementors, they  
would have flown to Moldie. There was never any hope for the corrupt  
Ministry to hold Azkaban. Since Bumbles was the head of the  
Wizengamot (which appears to be both legislative and judicial), I  
place the blame for all the laws and judicial malfeasance at Bumble's  
feet. He never appeared to take any action to improve the Ministry,  
the laws, or the court system. He certainly never improved the school  
and it appears the school was in the midst of a many-year continuous  
decline in educational standards. Being the head of the  
international, he also is to blame for the fact that there was no  
international response or help.
I put the hell of Harry's life and the hell of the WW life squarely  
at Bumble's feet. His Greater Good caused nothing but horror for all  
people, magical and mundane. He killed himself in his drive for  
ultimate power by trying to control all three Hallows--the all-wise,  
all-knowing Bumbles (don't look behind the curtain) can't resist  
putting a horcrux on his finger? He and Gellert both made sure the  
road to hell was well paved with their "good intentions" for the  
advancement of wizards.
There is also the question of how a muggle-raised orphan, who spent  
his time while not at Hogwarts at the muggle orphanage, could create  
a horcrux before he was seventeen? Given how much Bumbles likes to  
sift through people's minds, just how much did he KNOW about Riddle  
and what was happening? He NEVER shows any real desire to investigate  
anything and apprehend the guilty party, so one wonders if he  
maintained the same hand's off approach to Riddle. We know that he  
will not kill and has simply imprisoned his mass-murdering lover.
Then, if we look at his plan, from what we can gather from canon, he  
never gave Harry, or anyone, any significant training or passed along  
any significant information. He went to his death knowingly leaving  
Harry in the dark. He had how many years to find the horcruxes (at  
least three)? If he was really all that smart, why couldn't he do  
what was right instead of what is easy, and step down and find the  
damn things. Instead, he stays in his many offices, doing an abysmal  
job at all of them, and leaves Harry with an impossible job and no  
resources. He has ensured that Harry is a weak person and a weak  
wizard who has no desire to better himself, since he knows that he is  
just a freak and inferior to everyone else. No wonder Harry can not  
see himself with Herms and settles for a fangirl. The plan for Harry  
to destroy all the horcruxes was no plan at all. The plan for Harry  
to become the master of death was, again, no plan at all. Book 7 was  
no more than fate playing with her puppet and very little to do with  
the brilliance of Bumbles, and ends with no improvement in the WW and  
Harry married to Molly II.
