Is there anything in the books that mght suggest that DD was ever married, or in love with someone.
Could that someone be Minerva?
Any suggestions?

As far as I scoured, I haven't even seen a hint of a love life anywhere. Methinks Rowling wanted to enliken him to a wise, holy man.

I've thought many times Minerva was DD's lover, but I forget why but that theory was destroyed.

Or is far too committed to Harry....

I agree with the "wise, holy man" theory. Just too committed to fighting off dark lords, really ruins the home life.

Yes, but despite how much holy and wise he is, he still needs love, especially since love is his theory of life. But consider it the other way around. Minerva, is also wise, strong in principle, and single. IF any one could be his match then that one is Minerva, although she is second in command. But she has a lot of qualitties: Wise, practical, strong, honest.... and most of all she cares for him. I remember a passage in the Order of Phoenix, when Fudge tried to arrest DD in his cabinet and thereated him that he can not fight alone, to what Minerva replied that DD is not alone, - this indicates that she was ready to risk everything for him. Can't that be love?

Can some one think of another match for DD

Perhaps someone he lost to Grindelwald.

Xed... he met the woman when she made Harry and Voldy's prophecy, and he thinks she's slighty ridiculous.

hahaha,
Well, lets go trough the mayor female characters/ single or not necessery, because DD can have platonic relation with someone (like Snape & Narcisa), and see. And after a while we can put a poll

Personally, I like my theory. Someone he lost to Grindelwald, and that's why he's so extra devoted now...

I also like your theory, but it gives us not much to discuss, because we don't know those that died because of Grindelwald. So that could be one option, but in addition any one else, that would qualify for him?

how about poppy?

uh.... Madame Maxime!

What about Arabela Figg?

Um..What about whats-her-name?The O.W.L. examiner girl(woman)?

I didn't mean that in a bad way. He just seems to like kids more than adults to me.

Talk to me again when that crooked nose peaks and he's suddenly black.

You guys are taking the quote the wrong way.

We are??ermm

Then correct us Blue Hefner

yeah...

The old man seems to like children more than adults.

yeah, but if you imply that DD is a pedophile then you are wrong. And from where you get those ideas? On one side he is more protective to children, but that goes in line of his function of Headmaster, and thats understandible.

exactly...

mhmm

so, who else would fit as DDs love?

i would sy it is possible that it would be rosmerta or pomfrey

Dumbledore+No Luv= :[

Poor Dumbledore...*tear*
