Lupin: Dumbledore's " 'been voted out of the Chairmanship of the 
International Confederation of Wizards... they've demoted him from 
chief Warlock on the Wizengamot... and they're talking about taking 
away his Order of Merlin, First Class, too.' 'But Dumbledore says he 
doesn't care what they do as long as they don't take him off the 
Chocolate Frog cards,' said Bill, grinning" (OoP, pg. 95).

Ha ha, Dumbledore being dismissive, funny, and quirky again! Good 
comic relief! ... Or is it?

Call me crazy, but I have a hunch there's something to those 
Chocolate Frog cards. We've just discovered that the portraits in 
Dumbledore's office act as a spies; why not Chocolate Frog pictures? 
Think of the spying/communication potential! There must be Chocolate 
Frog cards in over half of the wizarding houses in England. And that 
kind of quirky, creative networking fits Dumbledore (and JKR) like a 
glove, IMO. Chocolate Frogs (and candy in general) has played a part 
since the beginning of the series... and, IMO, Dumbledore's little 
crack in this book is a clue.
