Dumbledore didn't brainwash Harry into wanting to save people. Harry wanted that
for himself. All Dumbledore did was show Harry how it was possible for him to do
it and still become the person he wanted to be, instead of the K**a** wizard
some of the readers thought he should be. <SNIP>

Except only after watching Dumbledore's show Harry decided that the only way to save people is for him to die. He always had saving people thing, I do agree, because that is part of why I like his character so much and  had he seen no other choice, I am sure he would have chosen the  life of other over his own. Only he always had hope and Dumbledore  IMO robbed him of one. Harry decided that plan made so much sense, all on his own, only Dumbledore IMO brought him to this moment through all his life, starting when he was testing him in the deadly ways in PS/SS. Instead of teaching him to rely on everybody around him, he barely allowed him to rely on Ron and Hermione, because of course the law of the genre needs for kids to be the saviors.  Maybe other people would have helped him to find Horcruxes faster? And do not start me on Dumbledore sending him on the false trail, because he thinks Harry could have been seduced same as Dumbledore.

That made so little sense to me as well.
