Dumbledore

[Margaret Fenney]

No: HPFGUIDX 190854

I would just like to mention a couple of things about Dumbledore:

1.  Although he knew he didn't have much longer to live, DD clearly did not
expect to die as soon as he did.  He was teaching Harry about LV, horcruxes,
etc. and there is no way to know what else he intended to tell Harry.  It is
highly probable, though, that he did not get to tell Harry all that he
intended to tell him.

2.  DD was not a god and was not omniscient.  He learned things over time,
especially when it came to the magic bonding Harry and LV.  I don't think
that DD ever wanted Harry to die or planned for his death.  I believe that
only quite late in the game, after he understood all of the implications of
the horcruxes and hallows, and Harry being a horcrux himself, that it became
clear to DD that Harry had to "die" in order to survive.  It wasn't a matter
of Harry dying for the benefit of the WW (although that was certainly
important) but Harry could not survive himself unless he overcame LV through
"death".

JMO,
