For the ridiculous efforts at drawing mythological/biblical parallels, try this for size: "The Invisibility Cloak, which Harry uses to explore and leave the castle, is reminiscent of the Shroud of Turin used to conceal Jesus' body after the Crucifixion".  Or for the poorly researched and inaccurate: "The word Dumbledore sounds like a contortion of 'bumblebee', and the headmaster displayed the helpful, cooperative traits of those communal dwellers.  He also acts bumbling sometimes, and the words 'dumb, stumble, fumble' and 'bore' can also be derived from his name, suggesting his traits according to different points of view".

 

Do you know where the name "Dumbledore" comes from? It sounds like from your post that you do.  I think Albus is latin for white (and at least brings to mind albino and albatros). But Dumbledore was just a funny sounding name to me. Where is it from?
