Somehow I failed to get the final alert about this chapter. Hence why I'm reviewing so late.
I'm quite surprised that Harry is even going back to Hogwarts instead of looking into alternatives. He knows that Dumbledore does not have his best intrests at heart. Why would he willingly place himself in a position where Dumbledore would have not only free access to him, but a position of authority over him? I know the saying "Keep your friend's close and your enemies closer", but willingly and openly going into your enemies stronghold where his power is at its height does not strike me as smart. Especially since Dumbledore has not been willing to contact him on neutral ground. While at Hogwarts, he is vulnerable to being summoned to Dumble's office and force-fed veritiserum and then obliviated. Possibly being obliviated of more than just that incident.
