ME:
I posted a response to this a couple of hours ago, but for some 
reason it has yet to show up.  I will attempt to summarize.

I think we understand the term politically correct to mean different 
things.  So, to avoid that confusion I will avoid using that term.  
IMHO, DD does not have much faith in the MoM and doesn't seem like 
the sort of person to every really bank on the MoM for much (as 
evidence, remember that he turned down the chance to have be 
minister).  DD is akin to Gandalf and Merlin, both wizards who 
followed their own rules and often felt that organized gov't was a 
bit too corrupt to ever really depend on.  I think DD sees the MoM as 
a place of so full of rules they don't know what to do.  He, on the 
other hand, likes to run his own school much looser.  Simply put, DD 
is more concerned with the ends, not the means.

I apologize if I misunderstood your last post. The statement, "He is 
SO above that!" spurred my response.  If I am understanding you right 
now, you meant that he has "better" ways of spying on Harry.  If that 
is the case, I would agree that he has "other" ways of spying on 
Harry.  Whether they are better or not depends on what he is trying 
to do.  Personally, I think if DD is Hedwig it is just as much about 
protection as spying.  In fact, more former than latter.

Regardless, I am still wondering if anyone has found an actual 
examples in the book where DD and Hedwig are seen together.  Thus far 
only one person has taken a shot at it and their example did 
not "fly." (he, he, he...couldn't resist).

In the meantime, any other theories about Hedwig?  Here are some 
other candidates for being Hedwig
Mad. Hooch (teaches flying, name sounds like Hoot)
Ms. Figg (Has cat named Snowy, job to watch Harry, at the end of GoF 
she is one of the first people DD tells them to go tell...if she is 
just a squib...this doesn't make sense...she going to seek her cats 
on VD?, plus Figg and Hedwig sound good together)

Have fun,
Jake
