Because the night Voldemort killed Harry's parents he accidentally put a part of his soul in Harry and if Harry didn't die Voldemort would still be rooted to earth because part of his soul still lived in Harry.

Yes. Dumbledore won and became in possession of the Elder Wand, as it was owned by Grindelwald at the time. But I think it was because Grindelwald said it was good Ariana died and he said Aberforth killed her. and so they duelled........

Voldemort kills Grindelwald because he is trying to find the Elder Wand, and Grindelwald refuses to help him or give him any information.

Did Severus Snape get married?

Albus Dumbledore didn't marry anybody. He only ever loved one person in his life, Gellert Grindlewald. Together, Dumbledore and Grindlewald had plans to take over the wizarding world and control the muggles so that wizards could reveal themselves. However, Grindlewald was a lot more extreme with these plans than Dumbledore. One day, a fight between Albus, Gellert and Aberforth Dumbledore broke out which resulted in the death of Ariana Dumbledore. Either of the three men could have killed the girl. After this, Dumbledore didn't trust himself to take a position of power and never found love with anybody else. Besides, under British law gay people couldn't get married at the time the series was set.

What does Dumbledore fear?

Dumbledore's greatest fear was finding out who actually cast the spell that killed his sister Ariana. It was either Dumbledore himself, his brother Aberforth, or Grindlewald. I believe it was Grinldelwald because he fled the country after her death and Dumbledore never saw him again until their legendary duel in 1945. Dumbledore's reason for delaying his meeting with Grindelwald was because he was afraid he would find out the truth.

Where are the Deathly Hallows hidden?

Albus Dumbledore had the Elder wand after he beat Gellert Grindlewald. Voldemort then stole the wand despite not being its true master.

The last hallow is the invisibility cloak which has been handed down to Harry by his father.
