"Yes, well, that’s the reality of the Wizarding World. Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is not only the Headmaster of Hogwarts, he’s also the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, and the Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards. I don’t remember where I heard it, but someone once said that the population of the Wizarding World is so small that the whole place effectively runs on small town politics, and there’s nowhere that’s more clear then with the Headmaster."
