[FFML] [News][Potter] Rowling Speaks on Dumbledore

[Luke Mason]

I think it helps explain some of his motives.  And his taste. He likes 
em with a hint of bad.  He took forever to stop Grindelwald.  He let Tom 
(a fine young man) become Voldemort.  He let Snape get away with 
terrible things.  He's always chuckling with a hint of amusement when 
Harry gets caught out of bounds etc.

He can't seem to see their character flaws - he's blinded by an 
idealised image in his head.  I think so anyway.
