Although they eventually established a cordial relationship with each other, with Aberfoth joining the Order of Phoenix when Albus founded it and attending Albus's funeral, Aberfoth and Albus still remained distant as Aberfoth was not able to forgive Albus. He was the only Headmaster to be laid to rest on the After his son, Albus Potter, got injured due to using a prototype Harry approached him again after hearing Albus and Dumbledore's reputation was so significant that even years after his death, the only reason Albus and Scorpius avoided contacting him for help when they found themselves stuck in 1981 was because they were concerned that even the knowledge of their existence would taint Dumbledore's future plans, as it was agreed that he had always known enough to know what to do or not to do and awareness of details such as Harry's future son might impact his plans.Albus Dumbledore was tall and thin, with silver hair and beard (auburn in his youth) so long that they could be tucked into his belt. He had originally intended to use the Albus Dumbledore was Ariana Dumbledore's eldest brother, and was not nearly as close to his younger siblings as they were to each other. However, he had enough sense to realise that he will inevitably have to duel Grindelwald and therefore he took the position as the Professor of DADA to prepare students for the upcoming dark times. Grindelwald lost control during the argument and attacked Aberforth. Among these friends, he counted the French He contacted his old student, Newt Scamander, who had become a Dumbledore mentioned in Transfiguration Today magazineFor his role in the incident in New York, as well as his reluctance and evasiveness where providing his superiors at the Ministry details about why he had been in New York in the first place was concerned, Newt was banned from travelling internationally by the Ministry, a ban they offered to lift if he confessed that Dumbledore had been the one to send him to New York. He had a very long and crooked nose that looked as if it had been broken at least twice. However, when Snape discovered that he had been used as a pawn in Dumbledore clearly underestimated Snape's capacity for It is notable that despite trusting Snape had reformed, Dumbledore never allowed him his coveted position of professor of Elphias Doge became a close friend of Dumbledore's during their first day at Hogwarts.

Had Severus Snape not intervened with a counter-curse, Dumbledore would have died within minutes. However, this insight also made him extraordinarily good at manipulating people, which he was perfectly willing to do if he thought it necessary. Umbridge and Fudge slowly passed rules and regulations that syphoned the powers of the Headmaster, while increasing those of Umbridge herself. Arthur, like Dumbledore, believed in the equality of all witches, wizards and Muggles while Molly considered him a great wizard who doesn't make mistakes. Albus himself made no attempts to change his brother's opinion about him, apparently acknowledging that he deserved it and accepting it as his punishment for their tragic family past, which Albus had a hand in. Dumbledore also appeared to like the twins, despite their mischief-making, but knew they were good people at heart. Dumbledore was notably eccentric. The curse quickly spread, and were it not for his own prodigious talents, he would have died within moments. He even appeared to feel some deep-rooted guilt and remorse over his inability to change Riddle, as he noted with great sadness in his face and tone that he sincerely wished he could have forced Voldemort to repent for his sins in a peaceful manner. He was even more disturbed with how Ben Cooper and Merula Snyde had became different due to the events of last year and that an Azkaban escapee who turned out to be an expelled student of Mahoutokoro School of Magic was working with R.
