“But I haven’t got uncommon skill and power,” said Harry, before he could stop himself.

“Yes, you have,” said Dumbledore firmly.  “You have a power that Voldemort has never had.  “You can —”

“I know!” said Harry impatiently.  “I can love!”  It was only with difficulty that he stopped himself adding, “Big deal!”

“Yes, Harry, you can love,” said Dumbledore, who looked as though he knew perfectly well what Harry had just refrained from saying.  “Which, given everything that has happened to you, is a great and remarkable thing.  You are still too young to understand how unusual you are, Harry.”

“So, when the prophecy says that I’ll have ‘power the Dark Lord knows not,’ it just means — love?” asked harry, feeling a little let down.

“Yes — just love,” said Dumbledore.

“I don’t mean to be rude –” he began, in a tone that threatened rudeness in every syllable.

“– yet, sadly, accidental rudeness occurs alarmingly often,” Dumbledore finished the sentence gravely.  “Best to say nothing at all, my dear man.”

“Judging by your look of stunned disbelief, Harry did not warn you that I was coming,” said Dumbledore pleasantly.  “However, let us assume that you have invited me warmly into your house.”

She said nothing, but marched Harry and Marietta to the door.  As it swung closed behind them, Harry heard Phineas Nigellus’s voice.

“You know, Minister, I disagree with Dumbledore on many counts . . . but you cannot deny he’s got style. . . .”

“Ah,” said Dumbledore gently, “yes.  Yes, I thought we might hit that little snag.”
“Snag?” said Fudge, his voice still vibrating with joy.  “I see no snag, Dumbledore!”

“Well,” said Dumbledore apologetically, “I’m afraid I do.”

“Oh really?”

“Well — it’s just that you seem to be laboring under the delusion that I am going to — what is the phrase?  ‘Come quietly.’  I am afraid that I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius.  I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban.  I could break out, of course — but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing.”

“You place too much importance, and you always have done, on the so-called purity of blood! You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be!”
