Just a few hours ago, my daughter told me "Mom, you're so smart.  
You know everything." Since she is almost a teen (and had a hint of 
sarcasm in her voice <g>) I take the comment with a grain of salt, 
but your post reminded me of this comment.  Even though I find out a 
lot of things, I would never claim to know everything my kids get 
into when out of my sight.  To the rest of us, Dumbledore is "so 
smart" and "knows" everything that happens.  He just *seems* 
omnipotent.

*certain* occasions...)
