Great chapter. The insight into Dumbledore's character is fantastic...you've painted him as a brutally uncaring man, completely apathetic to the fates of others, as long as the 'greater good' is achieved.
I find myself sympathizing with Harry to the point that I want to see Snape recieve his comeuppance quite brutally.
Well done, and good luck writing the next chapter.

Albus? Uncaring?? Heaven forfend! Albus cares deeply and sincerely. The only question is: about what? Thanks for the review. BJH
