Whether that trust is or is not justified, it exists and the evidence suggests that Dumbledore has been allowing Snape to perform Legilimency on Harry as well as to conduct other experiments. We have already discussed my opinions as to why Dumbledore trusts Snape. Remember other chapters: many events follow this pattern, and Dumbledore is always above everyone, knowing and calculating it all.In this series, we are taking an in-depth look at the relationship between Dumbledore and Snape, focusing on Snape’s behind-the-scenes jobs and how they help or hinder Dumbledore’s overall objectives. Even if he fails and Voldemort gets him, it's still a win - one Horcrux down. Since we know what happens in the Deathly Hallows, we can assume his logic here: it's a test run to see whether Harry will be worth it in the future. In The Sorcerer's Stone, he literally provides Harry with the Invisibility Cloak, shows him the true meaning of the Erised Mirror, and effectively prepares him for the first encounter with Voldemort. He always stands by Harry, ignores his shenanigans, and even encourages him.
Later, he would be doing just the same with Harry and his classmates, and we can study his attitude toward his chosen students closer. Initially, he might have been likely interested in Sirius, an heir to a Slytherin pureblood dynasty who rebelled and chose Gryffindor, and Severus, a grim boy who obsessed over both Dark Arts and Lilly Evans.ĭumbledore could see them both as his future double agents and kept them reasonably loyal by turning a blind eye to both the Marauder's reckless escapades and Snape's increasingly dangerous activities.Īs a result, Albus did in fact receive a double agent and a bunch of fierce and loyal followers. As we know, aside from Pettigrew, they all became Voldemort's most eager foes, and if we assume that Dumbledore influenced that, many pieces start to come together. The next generation that we know of included the Marauders, Severus, and Lilly. He seemed to know his students better than anyone, at all times. He was the only professor who's never fallen for Tom Riddle's charm and deceit somehow, Dumbledore always knew about his lies and real intentions.
