It struck me while reading HBP that ADD (I just can't get used to referring to Dumbledore as DD - I don't know why. I'm trying to compromise) seemed a lot less "SUPERWIZARD" in this book. Not just after he drank the poison. Starting with his destroyed hand, he just seemed to be not as great and all-mighty as JKR had made him out to be in the first five books. I know that she tried to cover it by discussing his advanced age, etc., but it just seemed to occur extraordinarily quickly. He was a goner from the very start. This was the only wizard that Voldemort was ever afriad of - who battled him in OotP, who took on the ministry and the Aurors, etc., etc. and he just seemed old and tired. Perhaps as was stated in the link (all the theories and spoilers) he was aware of what ultimately was going to happen to him and didn't have his heart in the fight any longer.
