Dumbledore: ‘’What will you give me in return?’’

LIKE.. What?! Okay, I’m aware that there a lot of arguments for and against Dumbledore, and correct me if I’m wrong, but really?! 

So Dumbledore had to be RE-PAYED for protecting the lives of two amazing young people who were more than likely two of his favorite students during their years at Hogwarts? Dumbledore needed Snape to GIVE HIM SOMETHING in order for him to try and save James and Lily, his head boy and girl, members of the Order, as well as young, brave, honestly GOOD people who had just had their first child? 

                               As if that wasn’t enough, Dumbledore knew about the prophecy. He knew that Harry was the one to kill Voldemort, he knew Harry needed protection. And yet he said Snape had to give him something for him to protect the ‘’only hope of the wizarding world?’’ 

“Ever since Harry had come home for the summer holidays, Uncle Vernon had been treating him like a bomb that might go off at any moment, because Harry Potter wasn’t a normal boy. As a matter of fact, he was as not normal as it is possible to be. Harry Potter was a wizard — a wizard fresh from his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”
