I'm just calling him G now, because all the possible abbreviations of Gellert just make me want to weep: Gellie. Geller. Gazz. Gazzer. I wish she gave him a hotter name. Tom Riddle is the ultimate hot name, so minimalistically sexy! It's like she came up with all of them in a wet dream when she was 13.
I swear, the Nazi thing, and the entire "FOR THE GREATER GOOD" - vindication is sweet. Although if you think about it, none of the dates match up (yes, I have been reading wikipedia again, since my older brother STOLE my copy of the book): in the first book, we learn from a chocolate frog's card that Dumbledore defeated G in 1945 (which is also the date of - dum dum dummmm!) But in DH, we find out that Dumbledore says he hesitated for a few years before confronting G, and then defeating him - considering they met when they were around 19, this makes no sense. This would mean Dumbledore was born in the early 1900s, when I think he's closer to being born in the late 1800s.
Plus, you know - Numengard/ Nuremberg. OH JK YOU SLAY ME SO.
