I honestly couldn't be happier with the Dumbledore characterization. And hey,there's no canon evidence to outright *dismiss* Slytherin, is there?
I was expecting the Snape/Lily and I was expecting to hate it. But the fact that they were lifelong friends who had a falling out (and he was in love with her) was much better than what I was expecting, AND explained some Petunia stuff I'd been wanting to know about.
It definitely could have been worse, and I chose to interpret his continuing feelings for Lily as guilt at having his first (and only?) friend killed, rather than him still carrying a torch for her.
People need to start writing Dumbledore/Grindelwald slash like there's no tomorrow. *heavy hint*
