I think as a fandom we are not showing enough respect to Bathilda Bagshot. I mean if she didn't think the boys would get on well with eachother and forced them to meet, they probably wouldn't have met.
So Bathilda, thank you. Your work is appreciated. We love you.

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell;
I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth.
In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless heavy dusk.
Their hands meet and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.
We were like gods at the dawning of the world.
Our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.
Our joy was so sharp we did not dare to breathe.”

The mother, Kendra, had jet black hair pulled into a high bun. Her face had a carved quality about it. Despite the high-necked silk gown she wore, Harry thought of Native Americans as he studied her dark eyes, high cheekbones and straight nose.
He learned them at our mother's knee. Secret and lies that's how we grew up."
This is what we know of Kendra Dumbledore... My headcanon is that she was quite a harsh mother, loved her children and raised them well, but strict and cold all the same. Remember a lot of children that grow up to be the kindest beings also grew up in the coldest darkest households.
We also know that his father killed three muggle boys in an act of vengeance. Cold blooded murder. And Kendra being a muggle born witch makes you wonder a bit. She probably hates her heritage a bit after muggles destroyed her family, her love and her children. She clearly struggled even more so now being a single parent. And then we know that she was killed by Ariana. We see in Fantastic beasts, Obscurials lash out when threatened or dare say triggered. Makes you wonder why she lashed out on Kendra that day. Who knows. Maybe Kendra had enough, and seeing Ariana's worsening condition and suffering, wanted to end it before it got beyond her control. She couldn't help her back then... but maybe she can help her now.
And I believe that Albus agreed with her to some extent, deep down. He tried everything to save her nothing can reverse the damage done by those muggles.
Whereas Aberforth isn't as realistic or pessimistic, doesn't see his sister as anything but his sister, thus being her favourite.
But what would their family dynamic be like if none of this happened? I see that in most fics they are depicted as happy... the parents in love, the siblings are very close and healthy relationships with there parents. But I don't think that would be the case at all.
Firstly, Albus would most definitely have been outcasted/disowned due to his preferences for men.
Everything we know about his parents would strong suggest this, and the evidence lies in Aberforth Dumbledore. His behaviour and response towards Albus and Gellert's 'closeness' that summer speaks volumes. This is learnt behaviour from parent to child. Albus learnt to keep secrets from a very young age, from his mother's knee.
Conclusion is if Albus dumbledore's family had lived without tragedy, tragedy would find him anyway, and the villainous potential this character has will forever be in my mind. Maybe I should write a grindeldore fic about this.

Can I ask, what would possess you to make such a thing?
Love. Arrogance. Naivety. Pick your poison.
We were young, we were going to transform the world. This ensured that we would, even if one of us had a change of heart.
And what would happen if you were to fight him?
Were I even think about defying it… it knows, you see. It senses the betrayal in my heart.

Deleted Scene From Crimes of Grindelwald
Newt: So, why did you sent me to New York?
Albus: Because I knew Grindelwald would try to catch Credence. He had a vision you see, many years ago. In which an obscurial killed the man he fears above all the others.
Newt: You.
Yes, this was an actual scene. They shoot it and then SOMEHOW decided to delete it.
Like WHY?!?
So like this scene is absolutely amazing since it tells about their past. The vision Albus is talking, Gellert probably had it in the summer of 1899. And shared it with Albus imidiatly. He must have got really worried about losing Albus since it also could have been Ariana. And after all those years when another obscurial came out. He must have got worried again. And like, what if Gellert didn't want to kill Credence but instead he took him to his side to take an eye on him. So that he could prevent an obscurial killing Albus.
AND even more importantly no matter after all those years Albus still didn't hesitate to think that Gellert would go after something that might kill or harm Albus in any way.
Like. The scene is so fucking perfect.
WHY DID YOU CUT IT?
