Hate the whole 'Dumbledore created a child army!!!' thing. He absolutely didn't
The marauders joined on their own, and yes, he raised Harry as a pig for slaughter, and yes, it was obviously not right morally, but a) what choice did he have, save 1 person over the whole ww? and b)he hardly did it out of spite, he did what he had to do for them to win the war. Again, it's not moral but it is what it is. Ig it's understandable to hate him for it, but the claim that he created a child army is simply not true
But uk who did create a child army? Tom fucking riddle, ur uwu misunderstood baby who was traumatized by Dumbledore
He literally wanted to apply to be a teacher just so he could radicalise children
So much of his forces consisted of people who were either just out of school or not even of age yet
Snape, Avery, Muliciber, Rosier, Barty Crouch jr, Regulus (who became a DE at 16 btw), someone named 'Wilkies' (acc to Sirius in gof), and it's said that he tried to recruit james and lily too, and later Draco(even if it was only as a punishment)...
Lyk... that's a surprising number of fresh graduates. I don't mean to say that all these characters didn't have varying degrees of agency in signing up to be a part of his army, or that they're completely absolved of any responsibility, but given that his initial plan was to teach at a school just to recruit children, this is hardly a coincidence
