I don't think that JKR had the room to really develop the characters in her books because of how she wrote them. They moved from easy kids adventures to so much more but there was no room in the early books to develop the characters. I also think that more development and longer books would not have been as well received and that the series might not have taken off.
I prefer Grey Dumbledore because I think that is the most accurate Dumbledore. He is doing the right thing in fighting Voldemort but the way that he goes about it is questionable.
1) How does Sirius end up in Azkaban without a trial? Dumbledore is the head of the Wizgoten (sp) so he should have been able to make sure that Sirius receives a trial but he doesn't.
2) How does Harry end up at the Dursley's? Seriously, he left a 15 month old child on a doorstep with a note of a women who he knew was jealous of her sisters magic. Seriously? And then he doesn't check on the child for the next 11 years.
3) Dumbledore is the leader of the light with a good number of very powerful and bright Wizards and Witches at his beck and call. He knows Harry's scar is different from day one. He knew that Voldemort had created horcruxes after the Chamber of Secrets. Instead of talking to his own employees, hell limit it to the Head of Houses, or Order members, he keeps this information to himself. His solution is to send three 17 year old Wizards/Witches to find, steal and destroy five horcruxes. Why? It has to be that Dumbledore knows Harry is a horcrux and that the only way to destroy all the horcruxes is to kill Harry. I suspect that Dumbledore knows that no one will accept that and so he withholds the horcrux info from everyone.
