I've mentioned/ranted this little Dumbledore qualm of mine before somewhere but I think it bares repeating here. Dumbledore's apparent unwillingness to kill Voldemort whilst duelling in the 5th, irks me. D is meant to love Harry and his priority is, supposedly, to save him. Added to this, D knows that Harry must kill or be killed by V. Why doesn't D kill V? Why does he seem determined to deliver Harry into the gladiator ring and simply hope he'll be OK? Offering up a human sacrifice (AND a Harry one at that) just because of something some bleary-eyed bit said in a pub once??!!
I find it hard to believe that D can't kill V. We are told that D is the most powerful wiz. Though V might know dark magic D does not, it is inferred (by McGonagall(sp?) particularly) that that is D's choice but that these powers are not out of his reach; his moral superiority makes him 'above' such dark powers but not necessarily unable to grasp them.

K. So Jo has, since the above, said that the fact that Dumby didn't try to kill Voldemort IS important. So I suggest you go back and read the brillance of other posties' posts on this topic and add your own lil' bit of brillance to this point. If Dumby is THE most powerful wizard aand he knows what's at stake/ Harry is at threat, why doesn't he even try to kill Voldy when duelling him in the 5th??
ps. How do I quoate more than one person??
