Hi- 

I'm new here, so I apologize if this theory is off-the-wall, or has 
already been discussed.

I've been re-reading the HP books, and noticed the physical 
similarities between Ron & Dumbledore. Both were tall and thin. Both 
had red hair (although Dumbledore's has turned white with age) and 
both had long noses. Also, Dumbledore seemed to know things only Ron 
and Harry should know. Given that time travel and dual identities are 
possible, could Ron have been sent back in time to establish a new 
identity (Dumbledore) and position himself to guide Harry through his 
battles with Voldemort? Is there anything in the text that rules this 
out? I've been trying to find out what color Ron's eyes are, but I 
haven't been able to find any reference to it. (This seems unusual, 
given that JKR mentions other characters' eye colors frequenty)

Any thoughts?
Susan
