He met Voldemort when he travelled around the world, and shared his body with him. Since then, he served him faithfully, trying to steal the Sorcerer's Stone and kill Harry Potter. After Harry had received his letter from Rubeus Hagrid, Vernon had denounced Dumbledore as a "crackpot old fool" and refused to pay for Harry's school funds. In response to this irreverent outburst, Hagrid gave a pig's tail to Vernon's son, Dudley Dursley. Voldemort started a dangerous duel during which he tried hard to murder his former teacher.
Beyond the Sorting Hat: Dumbledore’s Impact on Hogwarts’ Houses
Dumbledore participated in his trial and saw him betraying many Death Eaters to avoid imprisonment in Azkaban. After his release, he abandoned Voldemort and became the Headmaster of Durmstrang Institute. He met Dumbledore in 1994, when he visited Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament.

Although Albus loved him, the two brothers were not close to each other and became worse after the tragic death of Ariana. Albus likely alienated him, along with Ariana, during his obsession with Gellert Grindelwald. However, when Grindelwald attacked Aberforth, Albus immediately came to his brothers aid and fought against his crush.
Gellert Grindelwald
This meant that Dumbledore was physically incapable of battling Grindelwald, and vice versa. However, during The Crimes of Grindelwald, Newt Scamander’s niffler manages to steal Grindelwald’s Blood Pact vial, which allows Dumbledore to destroy it, end the pact, and set the stage for their historic duel. Salazar Slytherin was raised in a pure-blood Irish family and was born with the rare magical ability to speak "Parseltongue," the language of snakes.
Though they valued peace, tolerance, and kindness, they were more than willing to fight for what was right, especially when threatened on their home turf. Gryffindor was easily the most prominent house in the main "Harry Potter" series of books and films, and many of the series' most famous and beloved characters belonged to it. In addition to Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, the series' main trio of heroes, the house could also proudly claim many other popular characters in its ranks, including Albus Dumbledore, Hagrid, Professor McGonagall, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Neville Longbottom. The "House Cup," for example, is awarded at the end of the year to the house with the most points.

On the eve of their trip, however, Ariana accidentally kills Kendra during one of her uncontrolled outbursts of magic. Because Dumbledore's parents are absent (his father in Azkaban and his mother dead), he becomes the head of the family and it becomes his duty to put food on the table, as the family's misfortunes have left them poor. He is forced to remain in his house with Ariana while Aberforth completes his education.

Their intense relationship meant that Ariana was neglected, and they went their separate ways after the terrible argument between Gellert, Albus and Aberforth that ended in Ariana’s death and Grindelwald fleeing. If Dumbledore was such a powerful wizard, and if he knew the threat that Grindelwald posed, one might wonder why he didn’t try to stop him earlier? Well, when the parted ways as young men, the two of them made a Blood Pact, a magical agreement that they would never fight each other.
Though he died before Voldemort was defeated, he set the wheels in motion that enabled Harry to kill him once and for all. He was the oldest son of Kendra and Percival and older brother to Aberforth and Ariana. He was known as one of the most talented and brilliant wizards in the wizarding world and his achievements (including the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon’s blood) seemed to be endless. Although, he almost strayed off this path as a young man to go down a much darker road. Percival was the husband of Kendra Dumbledore and father to Albus, Aberforth and Ariana.
Dumbledore is the possessor and master of the Elder Wand, an extremely powerful object known also as the "Wand of Destiny" or the "Deathstick", and one of the Deathly Hallows. Unlike many of the wand's previous owners, Dumbledore keeps its identity a closely guarded secret. It is revealed in Philosopher's Stone by Mr. Ollivander that Harry's wand carries a phoenix feather as its magical core and that particular phoenix only gave one other feather, the one in Voldemort's wand that gave Harry his scar.
As the only wizard Voldemort was ever truly afraid of, Dumbledore was the perfect leader of the organization and was a significant contributor to the fight against Voldemort. Albus returned to Godric's Hollow full of bitter resentment at his situation, feeling trapped and wasted. Fortune finally shone on Dumbledore in the form of Gellert Grindelwald, who was in Godric's Hollow to research the Deathly Hallows. Dumbledore quickly became fascinated by Grindelwald's ideas of wizarding domination, obviously considering Grindelwald an unexpected new chance to show his own brilliance and come out of the local misery. Albus also harbored romantic feelings for the other boy, but regretted his relationship with Grindelwald later in life[7].
Dumbledore discovered Minerva in tears in her classroom late one evening, after she found out about the marriage of a young love to another woman. She confessed the whole story to him and Albus Dumbledore offered both comfort and wisdom; telling Minerva some of his own family history, previously unknown to her. The confidences exchanged that night between two intensely private and reserved characters were to form the basis of a lasting mutual esteem and friendship. In spite of Dumbledore's many extraordinary qualities, he was also a somewhat Machiavellian figure.[24] He could be stoically pragmatic and was extremely prone to secrecy.
He changed his name to Lord Voldemort, and began gathering objects of power and seeking ways to cheat death. After Dumbledore’s spectacular defeat of his onetime friend Grindelwald in 1945, Albus Dumbledore became the only wizard that Voldemort feared. As part of his backstory, it is revealed that he is the founder and leader of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation dedicated to fighting Lord Voldemort, the main antagonist of the series. Other allies of the Order were Dumbledore's students, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Lee Jordan, and Percy Weasley.
Dumbledore drank and he saw a vision of the duel between him Gellert Grindelwald, and Aberforth Dumbledore and Ariana's death as well as weakening him and made him extremely thirsty as well and inside pains (the whole purpose of the potion). After a failed attempt by Harry to revive him with renervate, Dumbledore woke up and wanted water. Fortunately, Severus Snape was able to alert the Order to this and several members, Sirius Black, Nymphadora Tonks, Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin and Kingsley Shacklebolt arrived in the Ministry where they battled with the Death Eaters. Dumbledore came to fear the connection that existed between the Dark Lord and Harry, and purposely avoided him throughout the school year. Dumbledore attended many Death Eater trials, including that of the Lestranges and Barty Crouch Jr. He was also witness to Igor Karkaroff's testimony which secured his release from Azkaban in return for the names of fellow Death Eaters.
Dumbledore begins to call out for water after he finishes the potion, and Harry, realising he has no other choice, dips the goblet into the lake to give him a drink. When he does this though, all the Inferi that reside in the lake grab at Harry and attempt to drag him down and drown him in the lake. Dumbledore suddenly recovers, thanks to the water, and conjures a fire lasso around them. Dumbledore takes the horcrux (a locket) and both make their way back out of the cave and back to Hogsmeade.
