Dumbledore is Hedwig

Hey -- I'm not disputing the Hedwig may be connected to DD in some way, 
but I don't think she is DD as an anamagus.  Here are some thoughts:

Me:
I think this might have more to do with the fact that you can't 
apparate onto Hogwarts grounds, so DD must have been flying back from 
the MoM.  Hermione's owl was to him, so the owl was finding DD, who 
happened to be flying back.

Me:
Good eye.  I wonder, though, if this has something to do with Hedwig 
being a rare owl (which, I know, could fuel the fire of this 
theory...), which Sirius mentions when asking Harry not to send Hedwig 
in GoF since she calls too much attention to herself.

Many have already mentioned how this theory would hamper DD's movements 
and own schedule, but I think it would also take a great amount of 
mind-reading at very random moments.  Would he have to know that Harry 
was about to send a secret owl out (as he often does to Sirius), then 
rush up to the owlery and transform himself before Harry got there?

one, but maybe not a transformative one)
