[Harry Potter] What responsibility for the deaths of any student in the third floor corridor does Dumbledore have when it is his staircases sending them there?

First and foremost, the stairs of Hogwarts aren't "his". Dumbledore doesn't have any control over Hogwarts itself. Hogwarts is a massive castle full of thousands of magical enchantments. It's full of a thousand years of secrets, many of which Dumbledore does not know. He isn't responsible for anything that the castle itself does.

That said... Wizard kids dying is kind of just something that happens. It sucks, but it's a part of wizard life. Wizards constantly surround themselves with dangerous animals, substances, and objects. Every wizard carries a wand, and that wand is constantly capable of doing horrible things, purposefully or by accident. Potion explosions, centaur riots, spells-gone-wrong, high-speed broom collisions... it sucks, but this shit happens. It's not surprising that wizards need muggles to keep their numbers up. Hell, the Weasleys having a bunch of kids are only being logical. It's like medieval peasants having 10 kids, you know? Some are inevitably gonna die, so you should have as many as you can.
