Summary: Dumbledore manipulates the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort manipulates his Death Eaters, Harry has been manipulating the entire Wizarding world.
It started, as it always does, with fear and hatred, Grindelwald's fear of Muggleborns, Dumbledore's fear of purebloods turning the entire world to hate.
I watched them go to war for no reason other than fear.
Fear of losing power, fear of gaining power, always fear.
Their war killed thousands.
Then I saw Tom Riddle, such a foolish young boy, so very afraid, afraid of failure, afraid of family, but terrified of being alone, until his terror twisted him into something inhuman.
So unsure of himself, Dumbledore did nothing, he chose to look the other way as a new Dark Lord rose, chose to hide behind candy and twinkling eyes while he pushed others into a war.
Then I saw them, the ones I would try to make my parents, their magic matched almost perfectly, anything less and my entry into this world would be impossible.
I made friends for them, to push them along when they were old enough, my beautiful Sirius was first, a perfect combination of fun and sorrow.
Then Remus, fierce loyalty that would be hidden by his gentle nature.
Both these would appeal to the one I would call father, in turn drawing the one I would call mother to him.
I could interfere no more than that without pushing the boundaries of choice that protect humanity and magical creatures from complete control by us.
I watched them grow up, they made friends, and enemies, some I had created for them, others were made of their own choice, as it should be.
I would not remember who or what I was until the correct time and place.
My plan was a complete and unequivocal merging of Muggleborns, who I would make sure were not dumped into a world they'd never even heard of once they turned eleven, and Purebloods, so stuck in their ways, they didn't notice themselves slowly dieing out.
It was this, or watch them fade into extinction.
A plan that could not be denied, nor fought against, the waging of one final war,in the hope that I would be able to protect the ones I had helped create from extinction.
Finally it was time, I watched as my soon to be parents began to worship each other, the first night of their honeymoon, waiting for that first shimmer that humans have, the one that calls a child to them.
In nine months, I will be born Harry James Potter, then I will forget everything until it is time to begin.
Then I will finish these wars once and for all.
