Evil Dumbledore

Who did you hate the most from Potter books?
Voldemort? Bella? Umbridge? Harry? Skeeter? 
Some would remember I was happy about Dumbledore's death at the end of the 6th book. Some others would remember me quoting lines from the book that clearly pointed out the real side of Dumbledore.
Well its been years since i read the books so I won't be able to quote exactly but hopefully this will be good enough to show light to the world.
 The evil that was Dumbledore.

It all began long back. When he was born. :D
Selfish fella never cared for the family. When his mother died leaving Ariana and Aberforth to his care, he detested them. Not just did he not take care of them, he was busy romancing Gellert Grindelwald in such times. All this eventually led to death of Ariana and destruction of Aberforth's life too. Had it been Gellert who killed Ariana, Albus would certainly have told Harry. Clearly he saw it in the mirror who killed her.

He said he never took the post of minister of magic for he knew that he was not to be entrusted with power. Agreed. But just by acknowledging one's fault, one doesn't become faultless.


"For the greater good"?
Go through all the villains of comics and fantasies. Many who wanted to rule the world had such ideas, of  a 'better, more perfec't world that they would make under their reign. Dumbledore was no different. And that lust for power, for which he was ready to sacrifice anything is evil. No banner of 'good intentions' manages to pull wool in front of the world's eyes.

Snape.
"you used me" said Snape. How true.
The manipulator that he was, used Snape for his plans and left him the agony of Harry's death. Of needing to kill Dumbledore. Worst of all, he essentially brought Snape's death. Even if Albus planned to die undefeated, he wanted it to seem like Snape killed him. Albus knew sooner or later Voldemort would thus murder Snape to get control of the elder wand. And he never even warned Snape..........
Albus deserves death for this manipulation and crime alone. How he used Snape's love for Lily! Even while writing this I feel a surge of anger in me.

Surely I am forgetting other things. Its been long since i read the book. Feel free to add.

Finally on a lighter note, he had his eyes on Harry and thus always took him to dark lonely places alone :P
