Dumbledore also sends Hagrid on other important missions, such as attempting to persuade the giants to join the side of the Order of the Phoenix. Hagrid was also devastated by Dumbledore's death in He was also right about telling Harry that Snape was on Dumbledore's side.
Minerva McGonagall : his friend, colleague, and former student. Minerva McGonagall knew Dumbledore for the majority of her life. She attended Hogwarts as a student during Dumbledore's time as the Transfiguration Professor and later went on to replace him when he took the position of Head of the school. She served for many years as his Deputy Headmistress, standing in for him and even replacing him as standing Headmistress on several occasions. Minerva had great faith in Dumbledore, placing great stock in the differences between him and Voldemort.
She was extremely opposed to his decision to place Harry Potter with the magical hating Petunia Dursley and her family, calling them the " worst sort of Muggles imaginable. Dumbledore discovered Minerva in tears in her classroom late one evening, after she found out about the marriage of a young love to another woman. She confessed the whole story to him and Albus Dumbledore offered both comfort and wisdom; telling Minerva some of his own family history, previously unknown to her.
The confidences exchanged that night between two intensely private and reserved characters were to form the basis of a lasting mutual esteem and friendship.
Minerva had no qualms about displaying her loyalty to Dumbledore. When Cornelius Fudge brought Aurors to arrest Dumbledore in , she boldly stepped forward and announced her intention to fight the Aurors on his behalf. She only stepped back at Dumbledore's insistence when he reminded her that Hogwarts and her students would need her in his absence.
Minerva was devastated when Dumbledore was killed in during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower , and attended his funeral. Severus Snape , a trusted ally, colleague, and former student. Snape's relationship with Dumbledore was one of close, but not indefinite trust. After indirectly and accidentally sending Voldemort after Lily , Snape turned to Dumbledore to keep her safe.
Dumbledore chose to capitalise on Snape's remorse and initiated him into the Order of the Phoenix as a double agent. As a spy for the Order, Snape silently kept his place within the ranks of the Death Eaters , while informing Dumbledore about their movements. He also adopted the role of secret agent for Voldemort, and supplied him with strategic scraps of information about the Order.
The content of these reports was often dictated by Dumbledore. It is implied that Snape withheld little, if any, information from Dumbledore that was relevant to the Order's success, while Snape deliberately did the opposite for Voldemort.
It is notable that Dumbledore did not confide completely in Snape, thereby minimising the potential damage that might occur if Snape was compromised. Snape resented Dumbledore's secrecy and was offended by this lack of faith in his abilities.
However, when Snape discovered that he had been used as a pawn in Harry 's own destruction he was horrified seeing it as a calculated betrayal of Lily's memory. Dumbledore clearly underestimated Snape's capacity for love , and years later was very surprised to learn that Snape still maintained his devotion. In , Dumbledore was cursed by putting on Marvolo Gaunt's Ring , which was a Horcrux he put it on when he was distracted by finding out that it was the Resurrection Stone, hoping to talk to his dead family.
He managed to contact Severus who was able to contain the curse in his right hand. However, Snape knew and told Dumbledore that the curse would get stronger and stronger and eventually kill him painfully, giving him a prognosis of about a year. By this time Dumbledore was aware of Voldemort's plan to kill him through assigning Draco Malfoy by threatening to kill his parents.
Knowing that he was going to die in a year and to save Draco Malfoy's safety and his soul, he ordered Snape to give him a quick and painless death when the time came.
Snape, although resistant at first to killing Dumbledore, carried it out at the Battle of the Astronomy Tower , when Draco Malfoy had managed to bring Death Eaters into Hogwarts. Dumbledore also entrusted Snape with protecting the students once Hogwarts fell into Voldemort's control. It is notable that despite trusting Snape had reformed, Dumbledore never allowed him his coveted position of professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts , ostensibly under the concern that it would cause him to revert to "old habits".
However, it is more likely that he did it out of a desire to protect Snape from the jinx he believed Lord Voldemort had put on the job after failing to acquire the position himself. This same jinx prevented any teacher from lasting more than twelve months at the post, sometimes with fatal results. After being cursed by Marvolo Gaunt's ring and ordering Snape to kill him, Dumbledore finally granted him the Dark Arts post, knowing that if Snape were to kill him he would be vilified by the wizarding public and forced to resign.
Elphias Doge became a close friend of Dumbledore's during their first day at Hogwarts. Elphias suffered from Dragon Pox , and everybody avoided him. Elphias thought Dumbledore was a very great wizard , and a very great person, and believed that his many early losses endowed him with great humanity and strong sympathy, as he stated in an obituary he wrote for Albus Dumbledore, after his death. Elphias pitied Dumbledore about his father , mother , and sister , and had a highly opinion of him.
Elphias soon became a member of the Order of the Phoenix , an organisation that Dumbledore had led. He also attended Albus Dumbledore's funeral. It is possible that Elphias Doge fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger , his former students. Dumbledore liked them too, despite that he wasn't as close to them as he was to Harry. These gifts were proven very useful, as Ron abandoned Harry and Hermione formerly to find his family, and, when he wanted to come back to Harry and Hermione, the Deluminator showed him the way.
The Weasley family. Apart from Ron, Dumbledore was respected greatly by the rest of the Weasley family.
They considered him as the greatest wizard of all time and supported him through everything except Percy who disbelieved him about Voldemort's return and was even the Hogwarts Headmaster during the times in which all the Weasleys attended Hogwarts.
Arthur and Molly Weasley always respected Dumbledore and were very loyal to him. Arthur, like Dumbledore, believed in the equality of all witches, wizards and Muggles while Molly considered him a great wizard who doesn't make mistakes. When the Ministry of Magic began to disbelieve Dumbledore and Harry, they supported the two famous wizards rather than the Ministry and became members of the second Order of the Phoenix.
Dumbledore's relationship with Bill happened to be a friendly one since they were both Gryffindors and liked each other. It is very likely that he also had a good relationship with Charlie. Percy also thought of Dumbledore as a great wizard, but sometimes odd. In , Percy's relationship with Dumbledore became antagonistic when he and Harry claimed that Voldemort had returned, Percy was loyal to the Ministry and participated in discrediting Harry and Dumbledore altogether.
When the truth was revealed, Percy learned he had made a mistake and in , attended Dumbledore's funeral. Fred and George appeared to respect Dumbledore very much. Dumbledore also appeared to like the twins, despite their mischief-making, but knew they were good people at heart.
They even joined the second Order of the Phoenix and even Dumbledore's Army. Ginny Weasley admired Dumbledore a lot and became his student in Dumbledore comforted and reassured Ginny after she was possessed by a fragment of Voldemort's soul and manipulated into opening the Chamber of Secrets during the — school year. Ginny was one of the first people to learn about Dumbledore's death, and the only one able to console Harry afterwards.
Ginny also named her younger son, Albus Severus Potter after Dumbledore. Dumbledore had a good relationship with both of them, knowing them both to be pure souls. After James's death Dumbledore returned the cloak to James's son, Harry.
When the Potters became Voldemort's targets due to a prophecy made about their son and the Dark Lord, Dumbledore attempted to protect them by casting the Fidelius Charm and offering to be their Secret Keeper, but the role of Secret Keeper went instead to Peter Pettigrew , which turned out to be a fatal mistake, as Peter turned out to be a spy, and he betrayed Lily and James to Voldemort, who killed them.
Dumbledore was very saddened by their deaths and dedicated the rest of his life to protecting their son, Harry without giving him any happiness in his childhood.
He often told Harry about the great goodness of his parents, and repeatedly consoled him with the assurance that his parents would never ever truly leave him because of their love for him. Dumbledore also believed that Harry's love for his parents was his greatest power. Dumbledore had been known to have at least some correspondence with the Dursley family before the birth of their nephew. In , Petunia Evans wrote a letter to Dumbledore asking if she could attend Hogwarts along with her sister.
Dumbledore kindly rejected her request due to her being a Muggle , which had likely contributed to Petunia's already growing hatred of magic. Ten years later, Dumbledore illegally dropped Petunia's nephew at her doorstep shortly after the murders of her sister and brother-in-law , despite the fact they were not named guardian candidates of Harry in the events of James and Lily's death.
Dumbledore had hoped that doing so would ensure an ancient form of magic that Lily's wilful loving sacrifice for her son had created. However, Petunia and her own husband both resented Harry's presence for the next ten years. After Harry had received his letter from Rubeus Hagrid , Vernon had denounced Dumbledore as a " crackpot old fool " and refused to pay for Harry's school funds.
In response to this irreverent outburst, Hagrid gave a pig's tail to Vernon's son, Dudley Dursley. In the summer of , Vernon was about to throw Harry out of the house when Petunia received a Howler from Dumbledore simply stating " Remember my last, Petunia. A couple of months later, Dumbledore met with the Dursleys for the final time in his life. During his visit to their house, Dumbledore went over the protection that the Dursleys were affording Harry, Harry's inheritance of Sirius Black 's possessions, and current updates in the wizarding world.
In addition, Dumbledore chastised the Dursleys for their indulgence of their son, Dudley. Vernon and Petunia were likely indignant at Dumbledore's remarks. Sirius Black , his friend and former student. Dumbledore had also a good relationship with Sirius Black, James Potter 's best friend and Harry Potter 's godfather, as well as a member of the Order of the Phoenix , an organisation that Dumbledore led to oppose Voldemort and his followers.
Like the rest of the wizarding world, Dumbledore initially believed that Sirius was the one who betrayed Lily and James to Lord Voldemort and helped to condemn him in Azkaban with unproven statements and lack of evidence about his supposed betrayal , but, in , he learned that it was actually Peter Pettigrew.
As he had no way to prove Sirius' innocence, despite being Chief Warlock and having the power to give him a trial, Dumbledore compensated by helping Hermione and Harry save Sirius from the Dementor's Kiss , and to escape from his Ministry captors, by means of a Time-Turner and Buckbeak.
The two resumed their friendship, and Sirius helped Dumbledore to recall the Order of the Phoenix an hour after Voldemort returned. However, their relationship was soon strained: Dumbledore forced Sirius to stay at 12 Grimmauld Place on account of his being a wanted convict, and because he had a tendency to act rashly, which could lead him to put himself in great danger. Though his intentions were noble, Sirius could not bring himself to appreciate Dumbledore's thoughtfulness, as he utterly despised the home which brought him many bitter, unhappy memories, and the fact that he was to be alone in the house most of the time made it all the more intolerable.
Nevertheless, he still trusted Dumbledore enough to confide in him about how Harry felt Voldemort awaking inside him the night that Mr Weasley was attacked. Dumbledore was devastated when Sirius died, believing that it was mostly his fault and comforted Harry to the best of his ability, and expressed his belief that Sirius was a lively man of wit and courage, with a deep and genuine concern for his loved ones, and would not hesitate to come to their rescue even if it meant putting himself in danger.
Sirius' death was also a factor that led to Dumbledore confessing to Harry several things that had been kept secret from him, mainly about the true power of his mother's sacrificial protection, and the prophecy about him and Voldemort.
Remus Lupin : his friend, former student, and former colleague. Another good friend of Dumbledore was Remus Lupin, one of James 's and Sirius 's dearest friends, and a werewolf. It was Dumbledore who, by several special precautions, ensured that Remus was able to come to Hogwarts to receive a proper magical education despite his werewolf status. He became a member of the Order of the Phoenix after his graduation. Later on, in , Dumbledore gave him the post of teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts , a decision some considered questionable.
He even helped Remus control his werewolf-side by having Snape brew the Wolfsbane Potion for him on a regular basis. On his part, Remus confessed that Dumbledore's trust and exceptional kindness towards him meant everything to him, when the vast majority of the wizarding world shunned him because of the deep prejudice against werewolves.
He rejoined the Order of the Phoenix when Dumbledore re-instated it in , and they both fought in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , where Remus suffered a devastating loss: Sirius died in the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange. Later on, upon overhearing a conversation about Harry's misgivings of Snape, he told Harry that to doubt Snape would be to doubt Dumbledore.
In , Remus was devastated by Dumbledore's death after the Battle of the Astronomy Tower , and later demonstrated his faith and loyalty to Dumbledore by fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Peter Pettigrew , his former student. It is possible that he was a friend of Dumbledore, before he betrayed James and Lily to Voldemort. Dumbledore learned of his betrayal in , and told Harry that, after he had saved Pettigrew's life, he would requite. Dumbledore was true: Pettigrew attempted to strangle Harry during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor , but he hesitated, causing his silver hand that was made by Voldemort to strangle and kill him.
Alastor Moody , his friend. Alastor Moody was a prominent Auror and Dumbledore's close friend. They fought together in many battles, and the intimacy of their friendship can be demonstrated by an instance where the usually formidable, no-nonsense Moody actually teased Dumbledore for his hatred of the Dementors.
In , Moody accepted Dumbledore's offer to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts , but was captured and imprisoned by Barty Crouch Jr , who impersonated him during the school year, in order to send Harry Potter to Lord Voldemort.
Dumbledore and Moody fought along in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , where they suffered a devastating loss: Sirius , one of their dear friends, was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange. Moody turned out to be the next member of the Order to die after Dumbledore. Albus Dumbledore had a very strong bond with Fawkes , his pet phoenix, who served as a messenger and close companion. Dumbledore always looked after Fawkes when he was reborn after his countless deaths and in return Fawkes was extremely loyal to him.
Fawkes was willing to take a Killing Curse in order to protect Dumbledore, and did so in order to defend him from Lord Voldemort. He also helped Albus escape from several members of the Ministry of Magic when they tried to arrest him.
When Dumbledore died Fawkes mourned him by singing a lament and then left Hogwarts and was apparently never seen again. The original Order of the Phoenix , his allies. The Order of the Phoenix was an organisation Dumbledore formed to oppose Voldemort and his forces.
He was also friends with Kingsley Shacklebolt , who believed in equality and fairness for all wizards and witches and Muggles ; Arabella Figg , whom he trusted to watch Harry Potter during his years at the Dursley's house and heard about the abuse Harry suffered while doing nothing ; Nymphadora Tonks , an Auror; Dedalus Diggle ; Hestia Jones ; Emmeline Vance ; Sturgis Podmore ; Mundungus Fletcher ; and the Weasley family.
He also liked the house-elf Dobby , and pitied the house-elf Kreacher , asking them to work at Hogwarts kitchens. It is possible that all the members and allies of the Order who were neither killed nor imprisoned, fought in the Battle of Hogwarts except Arabella Figg, who was a Squib , and couldn't fight. However, she might have helped in another way. Dumbledore in-between Professors McGonagall and Sinistra. After Dippet's death, he became the new Hogwarts headmaster. Every Hogwarts staff member, with the exception of Dolores Umbridge , both respected and held a high opinion of Dumbledore.
Another Professor was Sybill Trelawney , who taught Divination. Dumbledore planned on discontinuing Divination but went to her job interview out of politeness, by the end of the interview however, he has summed her up as a fraud.
When he heard her conceiving Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy , he hired Trelawney to protect her from the Death Eaters. In , when Dolores Umbridge sacked Trelawney and tried to banish her from Hogwarts, it was Dumbledore who stepped in and told Umbridge he wished that Trelawney remain at Hogwarts. He met Voldemort when he travelled around the world, and shared his body with him.
Since then, he served him faithfully, trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone and kill Harry Potter. He was killed by Harry Potter in , being burned by Harry's touching. She was a sadistic woman who enjoyed punishing students. Umbridge became High Inquisitor of Hogwarts, and later Headmistress. In the end of the year, she was chased by centaurs, and left Hogwarts.
Every member of the Hogwarts staff was devastated by Dumbledore's death , and it is more than likely that every member fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. Dumbledore's Army was an organisation formed and led by Harry Potter , in order to protect the students of Hogwarts from Lord Voldemort. All of the members of Dumbledore's Army were devastated by Dumbledore's death, and it is possible that all of them fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. The two defectors, Marietta Edgecombe and Zacharias Smith , are the ones who did not believe in Dumbledore from the beginning, and did not participate in the final battle.
During his life, Dumbledore became friend of many famous wizards and witches, such as Nicolas Flamel and his wife, Perenelle , Bathilda Bagshot and Griselda Marchbanks. Nicolas Flamel and Perenelle were over years of age, when they agreed to destroy the Sorcerer's Stone to thwart Lord Voldemort 's return. Bathilda Bagshot died a few months after Dumbledore, being killed by Voldemort.
Bellatrix Lestrange , a notorious Death Eater. She was fanatically loyal to Lord Voldemort and so, although acknowledging Dumbledore as a very powerful wizard, considered her master as the superior being. Bellatrix was among the few people who knew of the plan to assassinate Dumbledore , and that Draco Malfoy had been assigned the task of murdering him. She participated in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower , and reacted to Dumbledore's death with utter glee.
Bellatrix did not live to discover that her initial suspicions of Snape's loyalty had been correct, dying during a ferocious duel with Molly Weasley. Dumbledore recognised Bellatrix as an incredibly dangerous and sadistic Death Eater , commenting to Severus Snape that, given the choice, he would prefer to die a quick and clean death rather than fall prey to Bellatrix who tended to "play with her food".
Bellatrix also killed many of Dumbledore's friends, such as Sirius Black , Dobby the house-elf , and Nymphadora Tonks. Albus Dumbledore also encountered the savage werewolf , Fenrir Greyback.
It is implied that they had dealings in the past as Dumbledore was shocked that he, of all people, had come to Hogwarts the night that the Death Eaters entered the Astronomy Tower. He was also disgusted that Greyback had started to attack outside the full moon and enjoyed the taste of human blood. Greyback offered to 'do Dumbledore for afters', indicating that he would, possibly, maul him to death after attacking children within the castle.
In fact, Dumbledore seemed somewhat disappointed when he incorrectly believed that Draco would invite Greyback into the castle. Lucius Malfoy. He was among the Death Eaters who avoided Azkaban. Dumbledore was also Hogwarts Headmaster during Lucius's time as a Hogwarts student, as well as the latter's wife, Narcissa. In , Lucius's son, Draco , started attending Hogwarts. The Malfoys had a strong dislike of Dumbledore due to the man's love and acceptance of Muggle-borns and belief in Muggle rights.
However, he failed. Lucius was stunned and imprisoned in Azkaban, failing to give Voldemort the Prophecy about the Chosen one, so Voldemort became angry and made Draco a Death Eater and ordered him to kill Dumbledore, otherwise he would kill his family.
Draco attempted to kill Dumbledore, telling him that the Death Eaters would kill him, if he didn't so. Dumbledore suggested him to abandon Voldemort, and that he and his mother would be hidden by the Order of the Phoenix.
Draco would most likely have accepted, but was interrupted by Death Eaters. A year later, the Malfoy family changed sides. Dumbledore participated in his trial, and saw him betraying many Death Eaters to avoid imprisonment in Azkaban. After his release, he abandoned Voldemort and became the Headmaster of Durmstrang Institute. He again met Dumbledore in , when he went at Hogwarts, during the Triwizard Tournament. He left Hogwarts after Voldemort's rebirth.
He was killed by Death Eaters in Crouch was imprisoned in Azkaban by his father , but escaped with the help of his mother. Crouch played a key-role in Voldemort's rebirth, after he captured and imprisoned Alastor Moody , and took his form, to teach at Hogwarts, while Dumbledore thought he was dead. Crouch put Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire, and helped him with the tasks of the Triwizard Tournament, sending him to Voldemort. When Harry escaped, Crouch attempted to kill him, but was stopped by Dumbledore.
Barty Crouch was given the Dementor 's Kiss in When he realised who Voldemort truly was, he escaped from the Death Eaters and learned about Voldemort's horcruxes. He stole Salazar Slytherin's Locket in order to destroy it. They both have one thing in common, they found out about Voldemort's horcruxes though they never knew that they knew. They both also drank the Emerald Potion. Had Dumbledore survived, he might have learned what Regulus had done. Harry found out about RAB just after Dumbledore's death.
Dumbledore also disliked Fenrir Greyback , a sadistic werewolf and a Snatcher. Greyback enjoyed torturing and killing young children. It is also possible that every Death Eater , Snatcher and creature that was under Voldemort's orders fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and was either killed or imprisoned in Azkaban except the Malfoy family and the people who claimed they were under the Imperius Curse.
Dumbledore's given names could be interpreted as representing the four primary divisions of the British Isles:. After Pertinax was assassinated, the praetorian prefect Aemilius Laetus and his men, who had arranged the murder, "sold" the imperial throne to wealthy senator Didius Julianus, effectively crowning him emperor, but a string of mutinies from the troops in the provinces meant the next emperor was far from decided.

That he was the most inspiring and the best loved of all Hogwarts headmasters cannot be in question. Trapped and wasted, I thought! And then, of course, he came. Dumbledore : " I had proven, as a very young man, that power was my weakness and temptation. I was safer at Hogwarts. I think I was a good teacher. Severus Snape : " Hide them all, then. Keep her — them — safe. Harry Potter : " But why couldn't Quirrell touch me? If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love.
Not a scar, no visible sign… to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin. Quirrell, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason.
It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good. Sirius is locked in Professor Flitwick's office on the seventh floor. Thirteenth window from the right of the West Tower. If all goes well, you will be able to save more than one innocent life tonight. But remember this, both of you: you must not be seen. Miss Granger, you know the law — you know what is at stake You — must — not — be — seen. I am going to lock you in. It is — five minutes to midnight.
Miss Granger, three turns should do it. Good luck. Some of you in this Hall have already suffered directly at the hands of Lord Voldemort [ Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.
Remus Lupin : " They're trying to discredit him. Didn't you see the Daily Prophet last week? They reported that he'd been voted out of the International Confederation of Wizards because he's getting old and losing his grip, but it's not true; he was voted out by Ministry wizards after he made a speech announcing Voldemort's return. Main article: Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore's private lessons. It confirms the theory on which I have been working, it tells me that I am right, and also how very far there is still to go.
Main article: Second skirmish at the Cave. Main article: Battle of the Astronomy Tower. Albus Dumbledore : " Welcome! Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Thank you! He's a genius! Best wizard in the world!
But he is a bit mad, yes. In fact, being — forgive me — rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger. He learned secrecy at our mother's knee. Secrets and lies, that's how we grew up, and Albus How can you be sure, Potter, that my brother wasn't more interested in the greater good than in you?
How can you be sure you aren't dispensable, just like my little sister? Tom Riddle : " I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew that wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak, when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!
I loved them. I loved my parents, I loved my brother and my sister, but I was selfish " —Albus Dumbledore [src]. You see, I never knew which of us, in that last, horrific fight, had actually cast the curse that killed my sister I dreaded beyond all things the knowledge that it had been I who brought about her death, not merely through my arrogance and stupidity, but that I actually struck the blow that snuffed out her life.
I think he knew it, I think he knew what frightened me. In fairness to Aberforth, it must be admitted that living in Albus' shadow cannot have been an altogether comfortable experience.
I think I did, but I closed my eyes. Yes, we have been given power and yes, that power gives us the right to rule, but it also gives us responsibilities over the ruled. We must stress this point, it will be the foundation stone upon which we build.
Where we are opposed, as we surely will be, this must be the basis of all our counterarguments. We seize control for the greater good. And from this it follows that where we meet resistance, we must use only the force that is necessary and no more. This was your mistake at Durmstrang! But I do not complain, because if you had not been expelled, we would never have met. Albus " —One of Albus Dumbledore's letters to Grindelwald in their school years as they plotted Muggle domination [src].
Dumbledore already knew he was dying and made the difficult decision to create a plan that would help on multiple levels. By doing so, he protected Draco and secured Snape's undercover identity, allowing him to continue working as a double agent.
One of the main reasons Dumbledore belongs in Gryffindor and not Slytherin is because he is willing to sacrifice himself for others. Dumbledore fatally injured himself hunting down Horcruxes and even this did not deter him from his fight against Voldemort.
It is clear that defeating Voldemort is a cause for which Dumbledore is willing to die. Dumbledore also takes the blame for other characters. When the Chamber of Secrets is open, Dumbledore is quick to step down. This is partially to distract from the blame that is being placed on Hagrid.
This willingness to accept responsibility for the action of others is present throughout the entire series and goes against the core value of self-preservation that most Slytherins possess. Dumbledore is remarkably good at reading others. His ability to accurately judge the character of others allows him to catch on when something is off with Tom Riddle, Slughorn, and Harry Potter. Similarly, Dumbledore often correctly deems people as trustworthy when others are quick to dismiss them.
This is the case with his relationships with Hagrid and Snape. This trait was a crucial aspect of Dumbledore's character and is often associated with Slytherin house. Dumbledore is not motivated by fame or power.
He does not care about being remembered or leaving a legacy. Instead, Dumbledore does the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do. He wants to do good and remains consistent in his beliefs regardless of who is watching. While many Slytherins are motivated by acclaim, Dumbledore's motivations are more in line with those of Gryffindors. Brittany Fischer is a freelance writer who enjoys writing about a variety of television shows and movies. She is a lover of musicals, thrillers, mysteries, superhero films, and action movies.
She also enjoys casually watching reality television and home renovation shows. He also knows that Harry will have to learn some lessons through experience by confronting things he should be protected from.
Dumbledore did all these to prepare Harry for what he was going to face in his life. Rowling stated that Dumbledore was homosexual and therefore failed to find love in the movie. Dumbledore was featured as tall and thin, with silver hair and a very long beard that could be tucked into his belt. He has a long crooked nose and long skillful fingers. His eyes were blue and soul-piercing such that they twinkled with mischief and kindness.
He spoke in a calm and pleasant voice even when furious. He would have died from the ring had Snape not intervened with a counter-curse. His hand was left with a substantial black mark which was dead-looking and could not be healed. The blackness would spread itself to his entire body resulting in his death. His appearance hid a lot of his steely aspects. Dumbledore was considered the most powerful wizard in the world.
He rarely displayed his anger emotions even when provoked. For this reason, he was the only wizard that lord Voldemort feared. He was whimsical as he always used humor to create a welcoming feeling to people around him. Dumbledore was eccentric and, to some extent, effeminate. His dressing style was evident as he was fond of knitting patterns and frequently wore flamboyant clothes.
He was cunning, which enabled him to comprehend human natures, turning them into better aspects such as love and trust. He valued love as he consistently reminded Harry that love was the most significant and the greatest magic. It was evident that he decided to place some faith in Snape as he showed him some remorse. Dumbledore started showing his magical abilities since he was young.
In Hogwarts, he was known to be the most brilliant student who had ever stepped into the school. He did things with his wand even his examiners had never seen. Most of the things he knew were self-taught, and he excelled more when he met his teachers at Hogwarts, who guided him. His family lineage partially contributed to his great magic.
He also exhibited some unusual intelligence in wizardly, which was exceptionally powerful. Dumbledore was able to conjure the magical everlasting fire known as Gubraithian Fire. He was also the only one who had the ability to become invisible without using the invisibility cloak, a powerful disillusionment charm.
