Ok, let's cut the spoiler tags.
let us only talk of facts.
1 - Dumbledore was in a three way fight in which his sister was killed. FACT
2 - It is KNOWN, it is understood within the logic of JK's world, that it is possible to interogate a wand to see the spells that were cast from it, especially a killing spell, where a life is taken. This is shown in an early book in Harry's first conflict with Voldemort. It is also shown after the Quidditch WC when they can tell which wand cast the "dark mark" fireworks
3 - Dumbledore states that he MAY have killed his sister.
Let's consider this. If the German wizard had killed her, for what reason would Voldemort lie about this, even in his last essence as it was cast into death.. why would he lie to protect the German wizard and say it was "unknown" and that "it may have been him"
Is it realistic that Dumbledore does not know? Can we take it at face value? we KNOW his brother could not cast the killing spell, did not have the power too.. we KNOW that Dumbledore examined his own wand... so it was either him or Griswold (sic?) - do we suppose that Dumbledore is unsure about this?
His statement that it "may" have been him but he isnt sure but he blames himself anyway is pathetic, miserable, scornful, the purest trash. He KNOWS he is guilty and with snivelling self-pity begs for forgiveness without having the stomach to confess his crime.
I KNOW that Dumbledore did not deliberately kill his sister. It was an accient, a killing spell, and unforgivable curse cast in a moment of hate in the wrong direction... but he was not man enough to confess to the blood that was upon him. Once Harry was involved in a fight for his life which involved his step brother (who he hated)... Harry stood firm and faced his demons rather than running and abandoning a brother who he despised.
Dumbledore murdered his sister with his own filthy hands and allowed her name to be dragged through the mud as suicide. No wonder his brother punched him out. He shoud have killed him.
Dumbledore was not evil, but he was a murderer, a sorroricide, his sisters blood is upon him and he condemned. He DID throw Snape to the wolves. He DID use Harry... he was prepared to cast Harry aside as "colletral damage" in his great war.
But Harry was better than him and Voldemort... both who were stronger wizards.... Dumbledore had more knowledge, Voldermort more power... but Harry's strength of heart, his basic courage and love, sets him above both of the villians of this serious... Voldemort the demon, the monster, the snake; and Dumblefore the bad shepherd, Dumbledore the deciever, Dumbledore the sorroricide.
