Phineas had no respect for Albus. Since his portrait was hung on these walls after Dippet became headmaster, Phineas had seen, what the old fool had done to his successor Armando Dippet, when he became the transfiguration and for a short time the DADA teacher with his potions and compulsion spells that the old fool loved to throw at his victims. After Dippet’s portrait had been hung, the man just glared at Albus and made sure to call Albus a failure as a headmaster, which had annoyed the old fool since, and tell him that he made a mistake to announce him headmaster, which also made Albus angry. The other headmasters and mistresses also didn’t have any love of the headmaster and refused to help him in any way possible. They didn’t like Albus and some were even obnoxious to the old fool. Albus grew to hate all those damnable portraits, which was good in their books.
