(1) The Near-Dead Dumbledore, master of the stand without effort spell.
Dumbledore is a dick. Through Harry's eyes we initially see him as this great magnanimous avuncular master wizard and as the series goes on, dear reader, we slowly see the man for what he actually is. He's a cold Machiavellian old warlock who is willing to manipulate unrequited nerd love as a tool in his wizardly beardy vs hairless pick-up basketball game with Val-Mart the Scar Maker.
In short, I may disagree with Dumbledore on many things, but you have to admit that he's got style.
