Me: Is it possible that he can change his appearance just as Tonks 
can? I would vote for him being an Animagus, but since it was done to 
death, seems unlikely

ME:
You know, I have no idea whether they related or not, but after OOP 
my opinion of Dumbledore's intelligence decreased VERY significantly.

Granted, I never thought he was capable of calculating plans a la 
MAGIC DISHWASHER, but I did think of him as being very intelligent 
man.
Sorry, but trying to protect Harry from Voldemort by distancing 
himself from him? Making Snape to teach Harry of all people, when he 
knew that Snape never really got over his chidhood wounds? Was it so 
hard to predict that these lessons won't produce a good result?

I am actually dying to know the opinions of MD defence team about 
Snape just acting his dislike of Harry? Sorry, but after this book I 
don't buy it for a second.

Anyhow, back to Dumbledore, I understand him trying to protect Harry 
during the past years, but him not telling Harry this year that 
Voldemort may try and trick him, has in my opinion no justification 
at all.

And yes, I am still bitter and in DENIAL about Sirius. :o)
