This would forever earn Dumbledore Remus's gratitude, as most others would simply have forbidden the boy from even setting foot in the school. When Severus Snape found out Remus's secret, Dumbledore forbade him from repeating it to anyone. Dumbledore was one of Quirrell's mentors when he was still a student and his employer. Despite Quirrell's timidness and interest in the Dark Arts, Dumbledore apparently believed he could become a great wizard and free himself from his hunger for power. However, Dumbledore immediately realized that Quirrell had met Voldemort when he traveled around the world, and shared his body with him when Quirrell started to look suspicious. Dumbledore did not hesitate to have Snape keep an eye on Quirrell and later he showed no care or remorse for Quirrell's death when talking to Harry.

He even turned down the position of Minister for Magic as he felt he should not be trusted with that kind of power. Instead, Dumbledore became a teacher and eventually held the post of Headmaster of Hogwarts. There he taught everyone from Tom Riddle (who became Lord Voldemort) to Harry Potter.

Dumbledore, at one point, possessed all three Deathly Hallows
Another famous Hufflepuff, Nymphadora Tonks, would prove to be one of the most important members of the Order of the Phoenix and its fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters. A metamorphmagus who could transform her physical appearance at will, she worked as an auror and fought throughout many of the series' most important battles. Though she married and had a child with Remus Lupin, both of them gave their lives during the Battle of Hogwarts. She was famous for her many food-related charms, and she was directly involved in founding the school's feasting hall and kitchens. It was her decision to create a contingent of house elves to work as servants there so that they could be protected from the abuse and prejudice they typically faced elsewhere.
Dursley family
At Harry’s first Christmas, Dumbledore gave Harry his father’s Cloak of Invisibility, a rare object of unusual power, and then stood back and waited to see what he did with it. This odd, detached teaching method was very effective with Harry, but it also enabled Dumbledore to make an “old man’s mistake” and delay fully disclosing the complete details and implications of Trelawney’s prophecy to him. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was Headmaster of Hogwarts and the founder of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation dedicated to defeating Lord Voldemort.
When she lost control, magic would explode out of her which meant that she could be dangerous at times. Sadly, as we mentioned previously, it was during one of her rages that her mother was accidentally killed. Dumbledore's greatest personality flaw, which he explained to Harry in 1998[7], was his desire for power. He eventually found that those best suited for power are those who do not seek it. When he and Gellert Grindelwald were in school, they made plans to enslave Muggles and re-establish wizards as the natural rulers of the world.
Order of the Phoenix
He was whimsical as he always used humor to create a welcoming feeling for people around him. Dumbledore lived in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in the Headmaster’s office, located in the castle. As the esteemed headmaster, he resided in this magical institution throughout his tenure in the Harry Potter series. From Dumbledore’s letters to Grindelwald in Deathly Hallows, it is obvious that the headmaster of Hogwarts was obsessed with the idea of the Hallows in his youth. It seems fitting then that he should become the only character besides Harry to have owned all three at some point in his life.

Harry Potter: 10 Times Dumbledore Let Gryffindors Get Away With Murder.

Voldemort's curse, however, was prevented; Dumbledore quickly animated a golden statue to cover Harry and shield him from the curse. He animated the other statues from the Fountain of Magical Brethren to immobilize Bellatrix and alert Ministry officials. Subsequently an intense duel erupted between Dumbledore and Voldemort; arguably the two most powerful wizards of their time. Both wizards displayed a deep understanding of magic, though Voldemort was forced to flee the battle after Dumbledore imprisoned him within a dome of water. It was through Dumbledore that resistance to the rise of Lord Voldemort was formed, as it was he who founded and led both the first and second Order of the Phoenix.
Unlike the largely selfless Dumbledore, he’s more than willing to sacrifice his loved ones, from Hiromatsu to Mariko, to get what he wants. Though Professor Filius Flitwick, who taught charms, was the head of house, Gilderoy Lockhart was the first famous Ravenclaw featured in the "Harry Potter" series. After he graduated Hogwarts, he used memory charms to steal credit for others' achievements, write about them as if they were his own, and pass himself off as a valiant adventurer. He became the school's new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher during "Chamber of Secrets," but was ultimately outed by Harry and Ron when he tried to flee and accidentally erased his own mind. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Hufflepuff lived up to its symbolic animal, the badger, and was the only house besides Gryffindor to have nearly every single one of its students stand up and fight Voldemort's army.
He also helped Albus escape from several members of the Ministry of Magic when they tried to arrest him. When Dumbledore died Fawkes mourned him by singing a lament and then left Hogwarts and was apparently never seen again. Like the rest of the wizarding world, Dumbledore initially believed that Sirius was the one who betrayed Lily and James to Lord Voldemort, but, in 1994, he learned that it was actually Peter Pettigrew. As he had no way to prove Sirius' innocence, Dumbledore compensated by helping Hermione and Harry save Sirius from the Dementor's Kiss, and to escape from his Ministry captors, by means of a Time-Turner and Buckbeak.
He was the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, later the Transfiguration Professor, and later the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He also served as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards (?–1995) and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot (?–1995; 1996–1997). A Muggle-supporting wizard, though the absolute opposite in his earlier years, he was considered to have been the greatest wizard of modern times. 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 a very long and crooked nose that looked as if it had been broken at least twice.
It is revealed in Philosopher's Stone by Mr. Ollivander that Harry's wand carries a phoenix feather as its magical core and that particular phoenix only gave one other feather, the one in Voldemort's wand that gave Harry his scar. It is later revealed in Goblet of Fire that Fawkes was the phoenix whose feathers provide the magical core in Harry's and Voldemort's wands. In particular, he was riddled with guilt over the circumstances surrounding the death of his sister. 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. Additionally, Dumbledore's own guilt allowed him to comfort Leta Lestrange over her own guilt in the role she had in her brother Corvus' death. Indeed, it was Dumbledore's advice to Leta that induced her to save Credence Barebone from Yusuf Kama's revenge.
Dumbledore's Army was an organisation formed and led by Harry Potter, in order to protect the students of Hogwarts from Lord Voldemort. Though Dumbledore was aware of the organisation's formation from the start, he was not aware of its name and seemed quite overwhelmed when he first discovered it, apparently very touched by the open show of devotion and trust in him. He also lied directly to the Ministry by claiming credit for the organisation's creation as an attempt to subvert the Ministry and taking full blame for its illicit activities, which spared all of its members from expulsion and allowed them to remain at Hogwarts.
Dumbledore drank and he saw a vision of the duel between him Gellert Grindelwald, and Aberforth Dumbledore and Ariana's death as well as weakening him and made him extremely thirsty as well and inside pains (the whole purpose of the potion). After a failed attempt by Harry to revive him with renervate, Dumbledore woke up and wanted water. After much searching, Dumbledore eventually tracked another of Voldemort's Horcruxes to a cave that as a young orphan, he had once visited. As he had promised, Dumbledore allowed Harry Potter to accompany him to the cave and help destroy the Horcrux. Setting off from Hogwarts in the evening of 30 June, 1997[4], he and Harry Apparated to just outside the cave, being unable to enter directly due to its protective enchantments.
Furthermore, Dumbledore’s time in Gryffindor left a lasting impact on his approach to mentorship and education. As a professor and later Headmaster of Hogwarts, he emphasized the values of bravery and integrity, encouraging students to stand up for what they believed in and to face challenges head-on. His leadership at Hogwarts was not just about imparting magical knowledge but also about nurturing character and resilience in young wizards and witches. Dumbledore’s legacy at Hogwarts is a reflection of how the values instilled in him during his time in Gryffindor shaped not only his life but also the lives of countless others in the wizarding world. His influence extended beyond his direct actions, as he became a symbol of hope and resilience, embodying the very best of what Gryffindor House represents.
These gifts were proven very useful, as Ron abandoned Harry and Hermione formerly to find his family, and, when he wanted to come back to Harry and Hermione, the Deluminator showed him the way. The trio also read the Tales of Beedle the Bard and learned about the Deathly Hallows. Harry, Ron and Hermione also visited Dumbledore's portrait, after the Battle of Hogwarts. Elphias also told Harry to never believe Rita Skeeter and Muriel's slanders about Albus Dumbledore's family life, including that Ariana was a Squib.
