I would have thought Dumbledore's actions his entire life would have negated any nasty smear attempts. Harry's accused of lots of things throughout the series, and he mostly just ignores the negatives and lets events unfold to prove his character. JK has a complete bio on all of the characters in her books, but she only put in the aspects and background pertinent to the storyline. At the end, it was explained why Dumbledore became the man he was and his tragic love story was part of that. Again, she is filling in details post- publication, which I really have no problem with. Her books, her prerogative. Kind of like when she goes on the Today show and tells what happened to all the characters after the story ends.
