Snape and Dumbledore are an awesome duo of Pretty Screwed Up. They supported each other in spite of having very good reasons not to, and it all becomes so much less fun if you decide one is PURE GOOD vs the other being MEEEEEN. :(

Uncaring seems to come from the way Dumbledore used Harry as a tool. But again, I like screwy fictional relationships, and it's more interesting with Dumbledore having to use someone he genuinely loved.

As for explaining the last sentence, yes Dumbledore is shown to be good, but then there are little things ... aargh, I think it'd be easier to point to the fic that made me realise why people dislike him:

At the Lord's Door

This is an extreme example, but I tend to find similar sentiments coming through in other fics. I prefer to chalk those points up to plotting that could have been done better, and enjoy my grey-toned-but-good-guy Dumbledore, as JK wanted to present in canon.
