How Dumbledore MANIPULATED Voldemort from the Beginning - Messed Up Harry Potter Theory


Listen Later

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing a very messed up Harry Potter theory of mine that outlines some questionable actions and behaviour from Albus Dumbledore- suggesting that perhaps Dumbledore, wise old loveable benevolent wizard and Hogwarts headmaster, was actually a master manipulator responsible for the destruction of Lord Voldemort's soul. This theory alleges that Dumbledore, like he did with Harry, raised Voldemort like a 'pig for slaughter'.

Now, let me start off by saying that there are dozens of theories out there which suggest that when it comes to Dumbledore there's a LOT more than meets the eye.-

One of the predominant theories addresses Dumbledore's relationship with Harry Potter, with fans arguing that Dumbledore intentionally raised Harry to be a "sacrificial lamb," knowing that Harry would eventually have to die to destroy the Horcrux within him. The theory explains that Dumbledore manipulated Harry's every move and that he only revealed crucial information to Harry when it was absolutely necessary, potentially guiding Harry towards his predetermined fate.

Other theories painting Dumbledore as a manipulative mastermind relate to his relationship with Snape. In the series, Dumbledore was able to convince Snape to become a double agent by using Snape's love for Lily Potter as leverage. Dumbledore was careful to keep Snape's true allegiance a secret from Harry and the Order of the Phoenix, which further allowed him to manipulate events (and Snape) behind the scenes.

But none (at least none that I'VE seen) showcase Dumbledore as quite capable of manipulating the future dark lord Voldemort. But who knows Voldemort better than the man who pulled him out of Wool's orphanage? And who better to manipulate him than the very man that introduced him to the world of magic?

Let's get in to it.
