Manipulative Dumbledore
In this list I intend to collect fics where Dumbledore is manipulative, ranging from evil or insane Dumbledore who is willing to do everything to keep Harry under his control to a Dumbledore who is fully on the side of Light and only manipulates others because he thinks he knows best. There will be a second list to go with it, the "opposite",
Grandfatherly Dumbledore and Dumbledore as mentor to Harry. (I'm primarily looking for stories where Harry is one of the ones most manipulated by Dumbledore but will take other stories if they fit the general theme.)
Any Harry/Snape-fics where Dumbledore plays an important role for the pairing (as catalyst, master-manipulator, obstacle or whatnot) belong in my
Dumbledore in Harry/Snape-fics-list. So I will mostly only add Harry/Snape-fics to this list where Dumbledore is actively evil.
