HARRYLove blinds us? Do you even know what that means? Do you even know how bad that advice was? My son is – my son is fighting battles for us just as I had to for you.

If you’re referring to Privet Drive then—
HARRY
Years – years I spent there alone, without knowing what I was, or why I was there, without knowing that anybody cared!
DUMBLEDORE
I – did not wish to become attached to you—
HARRY

DUMBLEDORE
No. I was protecting you. I did not want to hurt you...
