added fan perspective section
A small subset of evil!Dumbledore fanfic attributes his behaviour to his sexual orientation, for example claiming that Dumbledore helped [[Snape]] escape justice because he was attracted to him. Usually this characterisation seems to have homophobic overtones.

==Fan Perspectives==
For [[Harry Potter]] fans who ''like'' Dumbledore, his complicated role as the mastermind of a war is usually seen as a feature, not a bug. As one anonymous fan writes, <blockquote>''"[He is] Probably the most complex character in the entire series, even in front of Snape. I love his arc: how you start out thinking he's just this fluffy old man, and how by the end you realize just how much he's done and sacrificed in an attempt to save the world."''<ref>{{source|url = https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/475060.html?thread=2849266612#cmt2849266612 | title = Anonymous comment | archiveurl = }} on [[Fail_Fandomanon]]. February 13, 2021.</ref></blockquote> Another reflects that, ''"the whole relationship with [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry]] is fascinating to me: Harry is the tool that will bring down [[Voldemort]] for good and Dumbledore makes his moves with that in mind, but he's genuinely grown to care about the boy far more than he expected."''<ref>{{Source|url = https://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/475060.html?thread=2849353140#cmt2849353140 | title = Anonymous comment | archiveurl = https://archive.vn/VlKUo | archivedate = 2021-02-15 }} on ''[[Fail_Fandomanon]]''.
