And a lot of things: His loyalty to DumbleDormammu, his hatred of The Evil Snake House....Errr..."Slytherin," hell, his perception of the world in general are taken on faith with no early reason to believe them.

They are later vindicated, yes. Dumbledore can do no wrong, the Slytherin are generally evil snidely whiplash motherfuckers, and he just happened into the right worldview (unless you count tacit approval of slavery and segregation, in which case, he's still a little fuckhead), but the point is, he's rewarded for having blind faith in things he has no reason to trust.
