Hi 
I am going to delurk becuase I want to comment that Dumbledore has an uncanny 
habit of knowing when to let Harry and co. break his rules.  Could Dumbledore 
be a true seer, or perhaps realize Prof. Trelwany is one (once in a while 
when she is in a state of 1/2 conciousness. Also,can you use a time tuner to 
go forward? IMO I think Dumbledore will die for Harry in the 6th book, and 
Harry will have to face his last year without Dumbledore.
