Prof. ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

Tall and thin with long silvery hair and beard, half moon glasses and a rather long and crooked nose, Dumbledore was the wise headmaster of Hogwarts, and leader of the Order of the Phoenix. Immeasurably talented and powerful, he was said to be the only wizard feared by Lord Voldemort himself. He was a somewhat controversial headmaster, revered by most, but accused of being "the worst thing to happen to Hogwarts" by the extremist Death Eater/ pureblood wing. Dumbledore was somewhat eccentric, with a fondness for wool socks and lemon drops, and his twinkling blue eyes lead one to believe he knows much more than he lets on. He could see through Invisibility Cloaks, had a Phoenix and a Pensieve, and Harry found his office one of the most interesting places in Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore could be stern and serious, but for the most part he is extremely kindly and even silly at times. He believed in giving second chances; he employed Hagrid as gamekeeper after his wrongful expulsion and allowed Lupin to both attend and later teach at Hogwarts, despite his being a werewolf. He was wise enough to know that things are not always as they seem; that Sirius Black and Buckbeak were both innocent, and he discreetly facilitated their escape. He employed Dobby the house elf, even paying him and giving vacation time, which is unheard of in the Wizarding world. Towards the end of Harry's 5th year, and throughout nearly all of Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts, it became disturbingly clear that Dumbledore was getting older, more tired - and perhaps most alarmingly - weaker. He and Harry spent the year exploring the mystery of Voldemort's immortality in hopes of learning how to defeat him, and their bond grew closer than ever. This led them at last to a cave to retrieve a tool to destroy Voldemort... but horrible magic sapped most of Dumbledore's remaining strength, forcing Harry to take the role of protector. It was possibly the most disturbing scene I've ever read, ever. When Dumbledore and Harry returned to Hogwarts, a trap had been set. Dumbledore sacrificed his own chance of escape to protect Harry one last time, which had the unfortunate consequence of forcing Harry to see all that happened next: After urging Draco to make the right choice and come away from Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore was murdered by Severus Snape. It appeared the ultimate betrayal - Dumbledore, who had taken in Severus after the fall of Voldemort, believing that Snape was sincere in his repentance. Theories abound that it is very likely that Snape killed Dumbledore upon Dumbledore's orders or desires, and I too, feel that there is definitely more to this event and Snape's subsequent flight than meets the eye... but we will have to wait until the final book to know for sure. Albus Dumbledore was laid to rest on the grounds of his beloved Hogwarts in a snowy white tomb. Countless wizards and creatures attended his service. The loss of the greatest wizard of modern times, both in power and in heart, was shattering to everyone in Harry's world... and to all of us who read it.

"'Is that where-?' whispered Professor McGonagall. 'Yes,' said Dumbledore. 'He'll have that scar forever.' 'Couldn't you do something about it, Dumbledore?' 'Even if I could, I wouldn't. Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground.'" SS, pg 15
