Nobody's rib continues;
<< eye color:

I had thought that Ron's eyes were blue, but have not yet found any places to 
back this up.  However, if Ron's eyes are brown, couldn't an older 
Dumbledore!Ron have done a spell to change his eye color - knowing that his 
eyes were the only part of him that still resembled his youth, and hoping 
this might be enough to keep others from figuring it out?  Also, if pale blue 
eyes/red hair are a recessive genetic combo, should we note that Mr. Weasley 
having that same combo might mean it runs in their family?   >>

To be sure Ron could have transfigured his eyes blue, and Dumbledore was the 
Transfigurations teacher, so ye certainly would have been *able* to do it. 
But why should he bother, unless there really *is* some rarity related to 
blue eyes and magical ability? One pair of brown eyes among peoiple who 
usually have brown eyes is not likely to be a clue to anything. That blue 
eyes run in the Weasley Family is a given, considering that Arthur has been 
specifically stated as having them. But I am reasonably sure that Ron's were 
stated as brown at some point, since it somehow hit me as a disapointment 
when I read it that he did not have Arthur's blue eyes. So far as I can 
recall, the only Weasley whose eye color we do *not* know yet, is Bill. And 
all of the kids (except for Percy, whose eyes are hazel) seem to have brown 
eyes, so far.

My own take on the subject is that it is far more likely that the Dumbledores 
are family connections of the Weasleys. Possibly Albus and Aberforth's mother 
was a Weasley great-grand-aunt of some degree, or the Arthur Weasleys are 
decendents of the embarassing Aberforth.

But by all menas, carry on. The theory is a fun one, and likely to give us 
all something to chew on until Midsummer's Day.

MacGonagall!Hermione, on the other hand, simply doesn't fly, imho.
