Certainly I can see why Umbridge or any of the "bad guys" would send a chill up people's spines, but they're supposed to do that. I've come away from the series as seeing Dumbledore as a puppet master - controlling Harry's early life, isolating himself, supremely confident in his own wisdom, not sharing important information with his allies, setting up puzzles to be solved and secrets to be ferreted out, rather than telling people everything he knows (what was the point of the Order??? Follow anything DD says without question?)) <SNIP>

Alla:

You are definitely not alone though. I find Dumbledore to be the scariest creepiest character in the series myself. As you said, bad guys are supposed to be bad, yes, Voldemort was evil, but no matter that he committed some truly horrible evil, I very often imagined him as somebody who goes around, beats himself in the chest and screams, I am the evil, hear me ROAR, you know?

Dumbledore does not need to scream, he is able to make *everybody* to follow his commands, make black look like white and vice versa and at the end of the series poor Harry still worships his dead feet. Yep, I find him very scary and creepy and would not want to be in the vicinity of him no matter what.
