What does 'as' mean here? Or what is omitted? (as ... (as sth))
Albus Dumbledore was never proud or vain; he
could find something to value in anyone, however
apparently insignificant or wretched, and I believe
that his early losses endowed him with great humanity
and sympathy. I shall miss his friendship more
than I can say, but my loss is as nothing compared to
the Wizarding world’s.
