  There is no way he’s a good guy.

      Both are old, bearded, and project a friendly, wise-grandfather image.

      Both lead a closed community with strict hierarchies.

      Both have elf slave labor.

      Both run surveillance operations: Dumbledore has the portraits, Fawkes, the Marauder’s Map (by proxy), and Santa has the Naughty-or-Nice list.

      Both maintain a mystique that disguises how much control they actually wield.

      However, I still think Santa is more likely to be evil.
