Was Dumbledore that badass that Voldemort was scared to attack him in Hogwarts? All of the students, compared to what the "adults" could do, were essentially worthless and lovely magicians.

Grindelweld was basically Magic Hitler compared with Voldemort as magic... um Magic Oswald Mosley. And Dumbledore beat the former.

Sure, Voldie had his cheating immortality, and may have been more magically powerful than Grindelweld, but he couldn't no for sure because it's a different generation, so it's an intimidating reputation to go against.


As for the students, yeah, it kinda bugged me how scrub-like Harry and co were when the previous generation were learning forbidden magic (animagi), creating potent magical artifacts (marauder's map), and inventing creative and powerful new spells (Snape's stuff from his potions book). If one of the Marauders had been the Chosen One then Voldie would've eaten it before they were finished with their fourth year.
