A Dumbledore thought

[Amanda Lewanski]

No: HPFGUIDX 19418

Jan has now read SS and CoS, and is getting into PoA [one of the few
benefits of having one's husband down for days with a bad back is that
he reads the books!].

He wanted to know if there was any firm canonical evidence that
Dumbledore himself attended Hogwarts. And I don't know that there is.
Hmm.

Jan's just brainstorming, he does that, and he was simply pointing out
that this might be another assumption we're making. Like our assumption
he was in Gryffindor, when the only basis for this is Hermione in book 1
saying "I hear Dumbledore himself was in Gryffindor" or something to
that effect, which is not rock-solid.

Probably he *was* at Hogwarts and he *was* in Gryffindor and JKR would
be truly astonished that we could entertain any other thought, but as
usual Jan got me thinking, so I thought I'd ask. Am I not remembering
something? Or have we all just assumed?
