This brings up a BRAND new question for me. HOW Did the school know 
where Harry was? They always did. First under the stairs, then the 
hotel and finally the cabin. They even had specifics like "the Floor" 
and "the cabinet under the stairs" or "the smallest bedroom." How 
does Dumbledore know in SS that when he's old enough, that Harry will 
know what he needs to know? Why does Dumbledore eyes show success, 
briefly, when he finds out Voldemort has some of Harry's blood in him 
making him able to touch Harry. Dumbledore sure is smart isn't he? 

Or is he? In the Legends of King Arthur, the wizard Merlin knows a 
lot about what is going to happen too. Why? Because he lives 
backwards. He experiences his old age first and then the rest of his 
life, getting younger as he goes. Could Dumbledore be doing the same 
thing? If he is, it explains why he knows so much. We all know JKR 
LOves referencing Mythology and other classic "Magical" tales. Why 
wouldn't she use Merlin. Merlin even shows up on the "Great Wizard 
Cards" in the Chocolate frogs. It would explain how he knows EXACTLY 
where Harry would be because would have already told him in Harry's 
future. It explains why he KNEW Harry would know what he needs to 
know, when he needs to know it, before Harry knows much of anything. 
(I apologize for that last sentence. hehe) Opinions??
