I'm with Maggie -- I thought the movie scene was more than a little odd. But this story provides nice depth for it. I like how Albus understands the way his age might appear to the young, and I particularly like him thinking about his historical legacy: of course he would.

Thank you! The line in the movie was quite odd, but it made me curious about Dumbledore's perspective.

I too found this a very odd line in the movie. But this explains it very well.
I particularly liked even though he didn't deserve the affectation.
I've often wondered how Albus could live with some of the things he did. This gives him more depth.

Thanks! I'm glad I managed to give some sense to that strange scene. :)

I love the subtlety of this - what a great insight into Dumbledore's character! :-)
