Am I the only one a little bothered by Dumbledore? Not only with the fact he could end up in the Guinness Book Of World Records for "Most Incompetent Headmaster of All Time" (though I'm sure there's worse. :P), but also because...he just bugs me. I know JKR was trying to write him as the "flawed Yoda", so to speak (and to be fair, he's nowhere near Yoda. XD), but it's also how...preachy he gets. Towards Fudge, for example. You know, in Goblet of Fire, with, "You place too much importance on purity of blood, yadda yadda et cetera et cetera" -- which considering how he treated Tom Riddle and the Slytherins is...slightly hypocritical isn't it? Probably bad writing on JKR's part, though. :/

Anyways, sorry 'bout the rambling. Thoughts?

(...Can't have DD's brother telling bad things about him to order)

Then, that letter Lily wrote to Sirius, where she talked about *something* Bathilda Bagshot told them about DD (the second page being missing would have had the news about him and Grindelwald on it)... Just trying to form the thought here but, James and Lily heard something presumably bad about DD and told Sirius. James and Lily die. Sirius is locked away and, when he's free again, DD doesn't help him clear his name. Could this be a case of, "they knew too much" and so, had to be kept away from others as well? Thinking a little further, how many Order members besides the Potters ever talked to Bagshot?..

New Fridge Horror regarding Lily and James' deaths? Check. 0.0.

Could be why Sirius seemed to fight against DD regarding Harry's upbringing, too.

Which is why Sirius had to die. :(

(Seriously -- no pun intended. :P -- Dumbledore's douchebaggery's now so massive it threatens to rip a hole in the fabric of space! D:)

Very, very interesting theory.
I can see DD in his "I'm the only one he is afraid of / only one who can organize the fight, and it's for the good of all..." mindsets making sure all people who could "blemish" his reputation to the rest of the order die / rot in jail / go crazy on the run / never be around the rest of the order. :(
