The way I see it is Dumbledore was once a teenager like all of us were (are, in my case) and of course at this age all anyone wants is some glory. I know it's what I want. If some handsome thing comes along and offers to take over the world with me, fuck yeah I'd say yes. When you're my age you don't think about the reality of death. You think you're immortal. Death is just a whisper, not a presence. And you want people to know your name, to love you even if they don't know you.
Dumbledore just had a rock-star-wannabe complex (with a little less music and a little more fascism), in my opinion. No one thinks they're gonna end up being an accountant or teaching at a school when they're young. Who wouldn't wanna be seduced by the dark side at this age?
