A scene from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 2007
Dumbledore

I know how you feel Harry.

Harry

No you don't. It's my fault.

Dumbledore

No the fault is mine! I knew it was only a matter of time before Voldemort made the connection between you. I thought by distancing myself from you, as I have done all year, he'd be less tempted and therefore you might be more protected.

Harry

The prophecy said: neither one can live for the other one survives. It means one of us has gonna have to kill the other...in the end?

Dumbledore

Yes.

Harry

Why didn't you tell me?

Dumbledore

For the same reason you tried to save Sirius. For the same reason your friends saved you. After all these years, after all you suffered, I didn't want to cause you any more pain. I cared too much about you.
