Peeves

I really like this suggestion, Neil, mainly because it
keeps with the idea of what a poltergeist is supposed
to be.  According to poltergeist "experts", these are
not true ghosts, but the manifestations of excess
energy, especially from disturbed teenagers.  Your
theory fits perfectly with that.  Love it!

Knowing JKR's fondness for wordplay in the naming of
characters, I 
find it interesting that "Pensieve" is an anagram of
"In Peeves" and 
wonder whether Peeves is a personification of
Dumbledore's spare 
thoughts, a bit like an id.  IMO, it would explain how
Dumbledore 
manages to keep such a close eye on things without
roaming around 
Hogwarts himself, and we know that Dumbledore has a
mischievous, 
adolescent vein in his personality.

So, how about it: is Peeves Dumbledore's inner
teenager let loose on 
the unsuspecting students?
