 This is not mad, this is brilliant!!!!
But could you tell whether, according to geomancy, those figures are linked among each other? What happens when Rubeus meets Albus? And don't tell me there's "Draco dormiens" as well!!!!

I feel sure that there is a very strong connection between Dumbledore 
and Hagrid that we haven't yet gone into properly. Has anyone here 
mentioned Geomancy yet? I can't find anything in the archives, so 
I'll risk making an idiot of myself and dive in (so what else is 
new?):

OK, Geomancy is this old divination system, not used much now 
(probably because it's pretty complex for "one of the most imprecise 
branches of magic").

Anyway, there are 16 geomantic "figures" (these figures are shapes 
created by dots, bear with me). Two of them are Rubeus, which is 
associated with the colour red and with warnings, danger, outbursts 
of temper, AND... (you've guessed) Albus, which is associated with 
the colour white, and with such things as guidance and wisdom.

Remember that Fortuna Major was used as a password (in, I think, 
CoS)? Well, Fortuna Major is another geomantic figure (associated 
with winning and luck). 

And, while I'm rambling on this subject, two other figures are Caput 
Draconis and Cauda Draconis (the head and tail of the dragon - 
signifying entrances and ways out). 

What does this mean for the Harry Potter universe? I don't know, but 
I think JKR must be aware of Geomancy to use these words and maybe as 
names they'll provide clues to future storylines.

OK, now you all think I'm completely mad, don't you? <cringe>

"What'ya mean? All paintings move."

"No, they don't. We have lots of paintings in our villa, among them a real Chagall, and none of them..."

"And d'ya expect that something painted by a jackal will move? Now really..."
