The Spell Old Dumbledore Chose for Ron

Anton had never hesitated to judge Dumbledore, that old honeybee who loved to manipulate people's hearts, with the utmost malice.

James Potter and Lily Potter had died fighting for the Order of the Phoenix, and they had played a crucial role in defeating Voldemort.

And then? Dumbledore had handed their orphaned son over to the Dursley family, who utterly loathed wizards.

As for Uncle Vernon, he had gotten into a fight with the arrogant James at his own wedding. From then on, the two families never had anything to do with each other again.

Dumbledore had had far too many options. He had not needed to rely on Lily's Love Magic.
