Okay, did anyone else notice the bumblebee outside the window while 
Harry was taking his OWLS? Definitely Dumbledore! He said he wasn't 
leaving Hogwarts, so became a bee. (IE - the name DD means bumblebee)

Yes, the whole animagus argument. But remember, Hermione looked up 
Animagus' from this century. DD would have been registered under the 
century before, being that he is 151 years old.

I honestly didn't necessarily agree with the animagus theories before 
reading OoP, but now I do. JK doesn't put in anything without a 
reason. 

Okay, okay... I found the page, US p. 725. "Harry stared fixedly at 
the first question. It was several seconds before it occurred to him 
that he had not taken in a word of it; there was a wasp buzzing 
distractingly against one of the high windows."

Okay... a wasp, not a bee. What do you guys think? DD keeping on eye 
on Harry? Or just a wasp - remember, JK never puts in anything 
without a reason (learned the hard way in GoF - Harry watching a bug 
crawl on a statue while Hagrid admits to being a half-giant to 
Maxine; turns out to be Rita). But she could be giving us a red 
herring.

Comments??
