1"Dumbledore is a shmuck", +1. However, for allowing Voldemort to teach, didn't protect them from the Basilisk, forced Harry to participate in the Tournament, that might not really have been Dumbledore's fault (for once): see this and this on Quirrell, this for the Basilisk and this on what happens if you retract from the Triwizard tournament.– JenayahCommented Aug 15, 2018 at 8:52

@Jenayah Dumbledore may or may not have been responsible objectively, but there is no way for Harry to know, and Harry may still blame him. Especially as Dumbledore pretends to know best, he also gets the responsibility.– QuestionAuthorityCommented Aug 15, 2018 at 9:24

@Jenayah The first two links don't even address Quirrel being Voldemort. The link about the Basilisk is marked duplicate, the referenced question has a top answer that says Dumbledore knew. About the contract, if it is so easy to create contracts for other people, there is much potential for abuse.– QuestionAuthorityCommented Aug 15, 2018 at 9:26

True; I thought you were talking about Quirrell when you said "allowing Voldemort to tech", because Dumbledore wouldn't have allowed that if he'd known. The Basilisk one is supposedly a dupe, but the accepted answers are to be qualified; one says he knew at some point, the other says it took him some time, though. As per contract - totally agreed, but then again wizards don't exactly comply to some Child Protection Services recommendations... :D– JenayahCommented Aug 15, 2018 at 9:34

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
