In the book and movie, there is a character called Mrs. Whatsis. She 
has trouble materializing into human form, and trouble talking in 
sentences. So she uses quotations to impart information and to 
communicate. 
All of her OTHER quotes (besides the DD one) are from real world 
authors in our universe...so for example she would quote Sir Arthur 
Conan Doyle, not Sherlock Holmes....
But she quotes Albus Dumbledore as if he were a real person in the 
real world rather than citing J.K. Rowling.
I thought it was fun. Hope that is more clear.
