***OOP spoiler***

Interesting theory.  However, I think a major problem is the fact 
that Hedwig is with Harry at the Dursleys' while Dumbledore is 
running around the Ministry trying to straighten out Harry's 
expulsion over using magic on the dementors.  If DD IS Hedwig, he 
can't be in two places at once--even JKR doesn't mess with that law 
of physics without timetravel.

On a related note, are we really to expect that while Hedwig is 
locked in Harry's room all summer, DD is as well?  Where does he 
find the time to hire new DADA teachers?

I would find it much more possible for there to be some link between 
Hedwig and DD, but not for them to be the same person.
