Why did Dumbledore want the deaths of the Potter parents?

Maybe it adds drama and emotional depth to the story. It can make the characters grow and face challenges.

One reason is that fans like to explore different perspectives. In the original books, Dumbledore is presented as a wise and mostly benevolent figure. But some fans want to see what would happen if he had a darker side. It adds a new layer of complexity to the story.

Well, in some fanfictions, Dumbledore might want to punish Hermione if she goes against the school rules in a way that he thinks is particularly serious. For example, if she delves too deep into dangerous magic without proper authorization.

Some fanfictions portray Dumbledore negatively because he made many controversial decisions in the original series. For example, his handling of Harry Potter's situation was sometimes seen as using Harry as a pawn in the fight against Voldemort. He kept many secrets from Harry that could have potentially changed the course of events and put Harry in more danger. Also, his relationship with Grindelwald in his youth and the events surrounding it add to the reasons why some writers in fanfics might choose to show him in a negative light.

In some fanfictions, Dumbledore might bow out of respect for a powerful magical entity or a person with extraordinary abilities. It could also be a sign of his humility in the face of a situation where he realizes he is not the most knowledgeable or powerful.

Dumbledore might underestimate it because he's used to the 'official' version of the wizarding world. Fanfiction can be full of wild ideas that don't fit his traditional view.

Perhaps James Potter, as Harry's father, wanted his son's story to be told in a more 'authentic' way. He might have felt that fanfiction could distort or misinterpret the real events and relationships in Harry's life.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore, not Malfoy, was the real owner of the Elder Wand. However, when Dumbledore was injured by Dark Magic and needed a new wand, Malfoy tried to take the Elder Wand but was stopped by Dumbledore and his friends. Although Malfoy didn't really own it, he showed a sense of greed and jealousy when Dumbledore needed a new wand. He had tried to get the Elder Wand through deception and threats, and had succeeded. However, this also caused the relationship between the Elder Wand and Dumbledore to become even more tense. Dumbledore and his friends finally succeeded in destroying Malfoy's Elder Wand and protecting its true owner.

Well, there are several reasons. Dumbledore is this all - knowing figure in the original series, but in fanfiction, his actions can be seen as manipulative. He might be making decisions for Harry without really considering Harry's feelings or wishes. Also, Dumbledore's grand schemes might not always be in Harry's best interest. Harry might realize this and get fed up. For instance, if Dumbledore is using Harry as a pawn in a bigger battle against Voldemort, Harry would likely be angry when he figures it out. And Dumbledore's failure to prevent certain tragedies, like the death of Sirius, could also be a reason for Harry's disillusionment.

In some fanfiction, Harry might not trust Dumbledore because the author wants to explore different power dynamics. Maybe they show Dumbledore keeping too many secrets, like about Harry's past or the true nature of the threats he faces. This secrecy can make Harry feel manipulated and thus lead to a lack of trust.
