Mr. Young hadn’t had to quiet a screaming baby for years. He’d never been much good at it to start with. He’d always respected Sir Winston Churchill, and patting small versions of him on the bottom had always seemed ungracious.

The Last Will and Testament of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
“To Ronald Bilius Weasley, I leave my Deluminator, in the hope that he will remember me when he uses it.”
“To Miss Hermione Jean Granger, I leave my copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in the hope that she will find it entertaining and instructive.”
“To Harry James Potter, I leave the Snitch he caught in his first Quidditch match at Hogwarts, as a reminder of the rewards of perseverance and skill.”
— Deathly Hallows, ch.7 “The Will of Albus Dumbledore”
