Spoiler: I really dont get why so many people want to defend Dumbledore the Sororicide. Harry was the Good Shepherd, and Dumbledore was the bad shepherd... and Voldemoret is the wolf: isnt that the message? That Dumbledore was not man enough for the job because the ends DONT justify the means? Dumbledore could not protect his people, it took a boy to do the job - because despite the massive advantage he had in terms of the Elder wand, he did not have a pure heart. And there was a way to kill Voldemort and not Harry - the deathly hallows... a secret which Dumbledore at best left vague and unspecific clues to so as to satisfy his own twisted morality without actually helping. How hard would it have been to arrange for the Elder wand to come to Harry? How hard to actually pass on the knowledge he had rather than simply leave Harry in Voldemort's grasp?
