Order of the Phoenix

Still getting used to these various lists, so I hope that this question is not either old or inappropriate to this list.

My 7 year old daughter Katie has this great theory about Dumbledore and the next book that just blew me away (out of the mouths of babes!) and I wanted to know what you guys think.

She noted that in CoS it is revealed that Dumbledore used to be the Transfiguration teacher (when Tom Riddle was at Hogwarts). Professor MacGonagall, the current Transfiguration teacher, is an Animagus, a cat...and she uses this skill as part of the Transfiguration lessons. Based on this, Katie decided that Dumbledore must also be an Animagus (how else could he teach that class?). Her theory is that Dumbledore's Animagus is a phoenix, and that this is in someway related to the title of the next book...she said that maybe Dumbledore is the head of the Order of the Phoenix because of this ability (she actually said he was 'the boss of the club', after I explained what an order was...but I got the idea).

Thoughts...anyone?
