They're trying to discredit him,' said Lupin. 'Didn't you see the 
Daily Prophet last week? They reported that he'd been voted out of the 
Chairmanship of the International Confederation of Wizards because 
he's getting old and losing his grip, but it's not true; he was voted 
out by Ministry wizards after he made a speech announcing Voldemorts 
return. They've demoted him from Chief Warlock on the Wizengamot -  
that's the Wizard High Court - 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.

I didn't even think about this.  We've learned that a portrait of a 
wizard/witch with a bit of that magic user (hair, fingernail, etc.) 
imbues the portrait with the personality of that wizard/witch.  What 
if Dumbledore and maybe the other living wizard/witches who are on 
Chocolate Frog cards can access their images on all those cards?  
Would it sound like a dull roaring noise to the mage?  Perhaps only a 
great wizard (like Dumbledore) could make it happen!  If so, 
Dumbledore has a much more vast spy network than was previously 
envisioned!
