Aberforth FOUND!

     While discussing the pureblood tree and various other 
relationships, we got stuck on Dumbledore's brother. He's been 
mentioned twice so far, and something told us that there must be more 
to him than we're being told. Then we began musing over the prophecy. 
Right now we don't know who the death eater is that over heard it, 
all we know is that they were thrown out halfway through. Was it 
because they were causing problems? Because they were a known DE? Or 
was it because of the prophecy? Either way, somebody must have known 
what was going on in order to throw them out. So who could that have 
been??
    
      When Harry enters the Hog's Head for the first time he 
says, "The Hog's Head bar comprised one small, dingy, and very dirty 
room that smeeled strongly of something that might have been goats."
              -Remember in GoF Dumbledore says, " My own brother, 
Aberforth, was prosecuted for practicing  inappropriate charms on a 
goat."
       Then Harry sees the bartender, and describes him as, "a grumpy 
looking old man with a great deal of long gray hair and a beard."
       
       Possible Dumbledore look alike?? It would explain how the 
death eater got thrown out. If Aberforth, a member of the Order, 
noticed the prophecy begin and realized a known DE was listening in, 
he would be in a perfect position to keep a look out! We might not 
know why now, but it seems to us that having Dumbledore's brother so 
close would have to be really important. Any thoughts??
