And you're quite right that it looks as if the "murder" of Dumbledore was staged. I'm quite sure that Dumbledore wouldn't have ignored Harry's news about Draco if he hadn't already known what was going on - but then I think Harry's forgotten that Dumbledore is very good at Occlumency: I noticed more than once that the narrator says something along the lines that "it was if Dumbledore had read his mind" - which I found irritating because *of course* Dumbledore had read Harry's mind, when he can do Occlumency, and he's such a great wizard, he probably doesn't even need his wand to do it, especially since we know that Harry was bad at it...<BR/><BR/>You forgot one, you know : "Nitwit.

Dumbledore knew about the vow because he was quick to evade Harry's Draco accusations. No headmaster would take that lightly after what had happened.<BR/><BR/>Also, I trust Dumbledore. I say enough with doubting him. He is a very old, wise, incredible Wizard who's been through a lot worse. Even in his weak state, he would NOT have been killed in such a way had he not ALLOWED it. It was quite plainly staged.<BR/><BR/>Ahhhh, now I was dying to put my 2 cents in. Interesting bog, thanks.
