[HPforGrownups] Voldemort's descendants...and Dumbledore's truthfulness

[scott chatten]

No: HPFGUIDX 27979

well if dumbledore is concealing the fact that he
(like everyone else with a deep dark secret it seems)
is an animagus, i would suppose it would make perfect
sense then wouldn't it??? but i mean there is no basis
other than what his name was derived from so dont
expect me to find any grounds for that theory. it
would just be the easy escape route for JKR.
