more speculation

I was laying in bed rereading PoA for the 20th time- as you do- and something 
occurred to me. We have had many posts on Evil!Dumbledore, i.e. Dumbledore 
having once been evil, but with the teaser from the publishers today, 
something else came to mind....

After having been kept fully awake in thought on our newly released lines... 
What if Dumbledore is actually James' father or grandfather. - The latter 
more likely as to age. To protect Harry from thing which he may not have been 
ready to understand in DD eyes, he may not have told Harry. Harry's return to 
the Dursleys for protection would have kept Hogwarts completely safe- as DD 
would have rationalised. DD is the only wizard of whom V. was ever 
frightened, yet Harry is the one who sent him into a bodiless existence. 
Perhaps the strength of DD lies in Harry. 

DD has always been a paternal figure to Harry- even more so than Sirius or 
Remus who played paternal roles. 

If as has been speculated here DD were to die in book 5 or 6, Harry would be 
left to defend himself and his beloved school- his true home in his mind- 
from V. 

I know it is out there and I will want to explain more in the morning... I 
just wanted to throw it out there while it is fresh in my mind 

-Snuffles, who needs to get a real life and not have Harry keep her awake 
late in the night.

"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty 
recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the 
dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with 
open eyes, to make it possible. This I did."  T.E. Lawrence- Seven Pillars of 
Wisdom
