Dumboedore countered the fire snake but that isn't showings he's more powerful. Books are different. Films only.Dumbledore does have skills but we see the two duel and Dumbledore looks scared not Voldemort. The entire wizarding world feared Voldemort not Dumbledore.
He changed tactics due to being short on time. Dumbledore was on the defensive save the water spell. Voldemort created fire whereas Dumbledore just manipulated water. Voldemort also created such power he broke all the glass and put the old man in his ass.
Oh my. You actually went there. You basically just said, well this guy did some pretty cool stuff that was like never seen by another wizard, but it was weak and dint mean anything. Manipulating water in that fashion takes concentration, very strong concentration I might add. Expelliarmius was pushing voldemorts curse back that's why he used Fiendfyre. Then Dumbledore took care of that and it's said in the description that he manipulated the fire to his will and launched it back at Voldemort. Taking on anything voldemort can throw at you and counter it like he did and live to talk about it, not being tired it definitely shows you are powerful and being the last one standing.
Dumbledore was not scared. The look on his face on Fiemdfyre was seeing a huge flaming snake and trying to protect Harry. That was caution not fear. Voldemort was scared. At the end of the duel, did you see his face. That was fear, he was thinking, I can't kill you, what power do you posses. That why he attempted to protect Harry instead of continuing the duel. Why would they be afraid of dumbledore, he was on their side, voldemort wasn't. Dumbledore didn't go around killing people he went around helping and when they thought he was crazy they were scared. There is proof for that.
Dumbledore was on the defensive because he was trying to keep Harry alive. So you are basically saying that Dumbledore can't do that. Firestorm comes to mind. The fire he created with his mind in The Half Blood Prince. Also if voldemort feared him, he definitely had a lot more tricks up his sleeve. Everything voldemort threw at Dumbledore, he could take and even return. Voldemort on the other hand ran out of tricks and was afraid. You are supporting the wrong/losing side.
