Just to interject a thought...who's to say there is/was a *real* Dumbledore that Ron replaced?  Lord Voldemort is a creation of Tom Riddle.  Couldn't Albus Dumbledore be a creation of Ron Weasley the same way?

Think of it this way, a young wizard suddenly shows up on the scene and nobody knows who he is or where he came from.  Since he's from the future he can tell people anything he wants and they have no way of disproving it.  So either intentionally or not, Ron arrives in a time a hundred or so years before his natural time.  He wants to stick around, he tracks down Nicholas Flamel, and says hello there I'm Albus Dumbledore and I've got a story you need to hear.

What I wonder about this is the whole Grindelwald thing.  It seems like it's a fact just pulled out of nowhere for no purpose.  At least, to this point it does.  But might there not be a larger purpose in there and if so what might it be?
