Another Dumbledore Speculation

I was just thinking about Harry Potter (what a shock) and got to 
wondering about Dumbledore's days as the Transfiguration Professor 
(which we learned in CoS, if I'm not mistaken).  Does that mean that 
he is also an animagus?  McGonagall is one, and JKR has made it pretty 
clear that each professor at Hogwarts is damned good at the topics 
they teach.  Wouldn't that mean that Dumbledore would also know how to 
Transfigure himself? 

I also remember Dumbledore telling Harry (in SS) that he doesn't need 
an invisibility cloak to become invisible.  I know the character 
sketch on Dumby-dorr was posted a few weeks ago, but the "Dumbledore 
to die!?" postings kept me thinking.  If he is the only wizard 
Voldemort fears, what are some of the powers he possesses that make 
him so strong?  I still feel like we know very little about him.

Any thoughts?
