I got all excited thinking maybe Dumbledore *is* an animagus who turns
into a Phoenix when at death's door, flames and rises from the ashes
and then returns to human form as a young man.  I even had a theory
that Dumbledore really *is* Godric Gryffindor reborn time & again.

But, as usual when I have wild ideas, reality set in and I remembered a
comment in GoF in which Dumbledore uses a present tense verb that makes
it impossible for Dumbledore to be Godric Gryffindor.  [L.O.O.N.
members are nodding.]  It also means he can't be an animagus-phoenix
unless he's never done the resurrection thing.

Foiled again!
