Throughout the series, Harry has traveled to King's Cross Station, either to depart for Hogwarts or return to London on the Hogwarts Express. The station has always symbolized the crossroad between the Muggle world and the Wizarding realm, and Harry's constant shuffling between, and his conflict with, the two extremes. It is fitting then that Harry should be in thethat station's simulacrum, only now, it becomeshas become a junction between life and death. And though Dumbledore assures Harry that he (Harry) is not actually dead, it seems Harry can choose that option if he so wishes. Harry has literally and figurtively been stripped bare before he decides to either moveboard ona train that will take him to the "other side", or return to the living world and an opportunity to finally finish off Voldemort. Both choices prove to be difficult. Although "moving on" isseems frightening and contains many unknowns, Harry knows he willwould finally be at peace, as well as be reunited with his lost parents, asand well asalso Sirius, Lupin, and Lupinthe others he has lost. It would also meansmean he must leave behind those he loves in the living world, especially Ginny, and the life he could have with her. Harry must also realizesstill confront Voldemort with no guarantee he can win; he realzes, however, that he is the only one who can kill Voldemortthe Dark Lord, and that countless lives now hinge on his return. His wishing for clothing may indicate his strong ties to the living world. Harry also realizes that Dumbledore did indeed always love him, and Dumbledore's actions, pitting him against Voldemort, was only because he knew Harry was destined by fate to do so, not because Dumbledore had decided it. Harry's faith and trust in the headmaster have been restored.
 
Before Harry makes a decision to either move on or return to the living world, more questions are answered. The creature on King's Cross' floor could be Voldemort's soul shard that had been within Harry; Dumbledore tells Harry that his soul is now wholly his own. [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=121 According to the author in a later interview, however,] it was actually what remained of Voldemort's original soul, flayed when it was sheared off for Horcruxes and damaged by his repeated murders.
 
We now have two viewpoints regarding what happened the night Dumbledore retrieved the Ring Horcrux. As he was called in after the principal events, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Snape's]] memories only reveal [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|the aftermath]]. And Dumbledore seems reticent to explain exactly why he put the Ring on. The Horcrux within the Ring was likely aware that anyone wearing it would be cursed, and would, assuming it is sentient like any other Horcrux, fight for its survival. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 19|Earlier]], the Locket Horcrux attempted to strangle Harry to protect itself, then, failing that, preyed upon [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron's]] emotions; would the Ring Horcrux have done any less? Dumbledore's desire was likely the same as Harry's: to be reunited with his family. Recognizing the Horcrux as the Resurrection Stone, would he not have been tempted to use the Stone to see them again? And would not the Horcrux, sensing this, entice him to put the ring on his finger, knowing this should kill Dumbledore before he could destroy the Horcrux?
 
Dumbledore said Ariana's death was accidental. The question that continually haunted Dumbledore, and likely has been troubling Aberforth, was whose curse killed her. If it was Grindelwald, then presumably Aberforth would have sought revenge, and tried to kill him, though he probably would have been killed in the attempt. If it was Albus, then Aberforth would never have forgiven him. If it was Aberforth, then neither Aberforth nor Albus would be able to forgive himself, Aberforth for being the one who killed his sister, and Albus for bringing this horror onto his brother. This uncertainty left the situation clouded, and prevented Albus and Aberforth from ever moving on followingpast Ariana's death. Grindelwald, being considerably less caring, knewwas only concerned that he could be blamed and took his usual course, running away.
 
Harry tells Dumbledore that Grindelwald lied to Voldemort, claiming that he never possessed the Elder Wand, perhaps in a belated effort to protect his former friend. Dumbledore believes Grindelwald may have felt remorse in his later years. It would seem his last act on Earth was an attempt to save the world from the likes of himself. Despite lying to Voldemort, his effort was futile. Through reading Grindelwald's mind, or just through common sense, Voldemort determined that Dumbledore possessed the Elder Wand and it was now entombed with him.

Dumbledore, forever shamed by his delay to fight Grindelwald, chose to remain at Hogwarts, declining more prestigious appointments, solely to avoid succumbing again to power's seductive allure. It is difficult to imagine that Dumbledore, a brave and formidable wizard, could have ever feared anything or would leave others in peril. However, he ignored the Wizarding world's desperate pleas for help and avoided confronting Grindelwald for as long as he could because he dreaded learning that it may have been his own stray curse that accidentally killed his sister, Ariana; and possibly also because he feared the demands that he become Minister for Magic following that duel. It is only after much bloodshed during Grindelwald's five-year rampage that Dumbledore finally relented and mustered the courage to face him in a fierce duel. Dumbledore's delay seems incomprehensible, and he could be considered indirectly responsible for many deaths during the interim. Dumbledore, however, understood that truth can be a person's most fearsome and crippling enemy, and it incapacitated him during those intervening years.
 
Harry now realizes that Dumbledore did indeed always love him, and Harry's faith and trust in him have been restored.
