What Makes Him Love Exalted?[]

What's more, Harry loved Dumbledore and was deeply appreciative of everything he did for his sake, naming one of his children Albus to honor the former Hogwarts Headmaster.

  • He teaches as the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts, helping several students in correctly defending themselves against the dark arts.
  • When he meets young Tom Riddle and introduces him to the Wizarding World, he has him return all of the belongings that he stole to their rightful owners.

While the Dursleys were bad people, he asked the Dursleys to treat Harry as their own and was deeply angry and disappointed to say the least when he got to know that the Dursleys do everything but that. Furthermore, he does this because the magical protection that Lily's sacrifice creates passes onto Petunia, meaning Harry can be protected from Voldemort while staying with the Dursleys.

  • He listens to Sirius and the rest of the Order and asks that they treat Kreacher with kindness and respect, showing sympathy for the house elf. If Sirius listened to Dumbledore, Kreacher likely would have never betrayed them by revealing Harry’s bond with Sirius to Narcissa or lie to Harry that Sirius was gone from his childhood home, and Sirius’ death could have been avoided.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince[]

  • He refuses to allow Fudge to meet with Harry, knowing he was only interested in maintaining his position and not wanting to force Harry to lie to the Wizarding World and does the same thing when Rufus Scrimgeour becomes the Minister of Magic, which are both very remarkable decisions in the two's roles, as Ministry of Magic's recent actions prove it to be beyond saving due to secretly sharing Voldemort and Death Eaters' beliefs than it let on hence its eventual easy takeover.
  • He found Marvalo Gaunt's ring, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and destroyed it.
  • As Snape created a potion to help counter the ring's curse, Dumbledore expresses sincere gratitude, noting that he was incredibly fortunate to have Snape as an ally.
  • When he retrieved Harry at the Dursley's house, he expresses cold fury at the way the Dursleys had ignored his wishes to have Harry be treated as another son and instead showing him nothing but neglect and cruelty. While Vernon was certainly too stubborn to listen and Petunia left mixed at worst, their son Dudley actually took what Dumbledore said to the heart, hence one of reasons he made amends with Harry in the next book.

He also reminds Harry that he was not bound by the prophecy, but that he was his own person and that he should defeat Voldemort to avenge the deaths of those who Voldemort murdered, not because of the prophecy.
  • When Harry asks Dumbledore to come with him to find the next Horcrux, Dumbledore agrees, stating that Harry has earned that right.
  • When Harry blames Snape for having told Voldemort about the prophecy, Dumbledore stands up for Snape and explains that Snape was reformed since then and feels deep remorse for his actions as a Death Eater.
  • When Harry asks if Dumbledore was going to leave Hogwarts while Malfoy and Snape were secretly planning something, Dumbledore silences him, coldly noting that he had never once left Hogwarts unprotected and that he intended to place extra protections after they both left. This demonstrates how seriously Dumbledore took his role as Headmaster and how highly he valued the safety of his students.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows[]

  • After his death, he gives Ron the Deluminator and Hermione his copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard. These items would be vital, as the Deluminator gave Ron the way back to Harry and Hermione after he abandons them, and the book allows Hermione to learn about the Deathly Hallows.

  • It is only because of the information Dumbledore knows about Voldemort and his meticulous planning, that Harry successfully finds and destroys the Horcruxes and put an end to Voldemort’s reign of terror for good. If it wasn’t for Dumbledore, Voldemort would've successfully taken over the Wizarding World.
