Dumbledore's anti-Muggle attitudes sprung up from his little sister being attacked to the point of insanity by 3 Muggle boys; his father going to Azkaban for avenging her; his family being forced to hide said sister's insanity or risk her certification; and his mother being murdered by said sister.
The plans for Muggle dominations were not just Grindelwald's crazy ideas, they were also ideas that Dumbledore's horrible life had caused him to have.
What I'm trying to say is that Dumbledore already had intrinsic reasons to hate Muggles and wish for Muggle-domination. Grindelwald shared his ideas, he did not inspire them. And - (and this is where I see red) - in the context of the story, Dumbledore never says that his Great Love for Grindelwald caused him to almost turn evil.
Or in other words: Dear Rowling, have you actually read your own book?
