I've always had a secret hankering (hoofering?) to write Firenze, but I could never think of a flimsy enough pretext for him to turn up in a fic before. I'm glad you think he's sexy; horses do rest one hind leg against the other when they're relaxed/dosing, so I thought I'd put it in for him. I'm aware that it's only a short and very dangerous trot from this to writing centaur romance, so I'm stopping now!
As for Dumbledore, I think we were meant to know how much he loved Harry and Co. in DH, but also that he'd lived a life of secrets and manipulation and it had taken its toll. (Trouble was, I think the latter came across much clearer than the former.) Also that in order to win you have to make the tough decisions on your own. But I like to think that he must have had doubts, and been very lonely and afraid at times that he was doing the right thing, so perhaps one night he did call on Firenze for a quick bit of star-gazing and man-to-centaur chat?
Thanks very much. And I will try and find a flimsy pretext for him again. ;)
