I'm sorry I missed replying to this. I'd like to blame LJ, but I think it must be my either dodgy eyesight or faulty memory, neither of which is a great excuse!
Especially as I want to thank you for such a lovely comment. :) I do enjoy writing Dumbledore, and was quite sad that one of the things I lost a bit of in DH was how tough it was to be the man making the life and death decisions about people he loved in order to win a war. He really had no one to confide his worries and fears in, which is where the idea of Firenze came along as I've always had a hankering (hoofering?;)) to write him, and he was a character with no agenda who Dumbledore could unload a little on in the dead of night when all the doubts over what he was doing were there.
Firenze was a lot of fun. Might go back to him one day... ;)
