I'm with Cornflower on this one. It's an interesting theory, but
doesn't hold a lot of water. Afeter all, GoF pivots on Moody not being
Moody and if Dumbeldore would have been Ron, then he would have known
in advance...which is actually true for most of the DADA professor
appointments... and the whole Black thing from PoA... 

Didn't Dumbledore describe his brother as kind of a "Bumbler"? (didn't
use that word... but thought it was amusing in light of  Cornflower's
post...hehehe) and I giggled at tehe buzzing in the exam room thinking
the same thing. ;D
