"I wonder if Dumbledore has some sort of external role in the Ministry of
Magic? I seem to recall that Fudge sends Dumbledore owls all the time,
seeking advice. Dumbledore also turned down the Minister's job, but may
have been appointed to some other role."

I would assume that he is an adviser to the Ministry of Magic. In PS,
just before Harry goes through the trapdoor, it says Dumbledore has been
called away on urgent business at the Ministry. This must happen from
time to time for him to accept this request (even though it is infact
not from the Ministry) and actually go to London.

"Sorry about all these posts in a row - I seem to be most active when
everyone else is asleep or tied up."

I would have posted some replies to messages earlier, but when I got
up Yahoo was not allowing posts. I am not sure why but it seems to be
working again now. I should probably now apologise as I must, by now,
have quite a few messages in a row!
