[HPforGrownups] Dumbledore is Ron?/Why Harry??

All the "evidence" that's been presented to "prove" Dumbledore is Ron seems 
to me to be highly circumstantial.  My primary objection to it is, though, 
that Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the world and has been for many 
years.  He's also a wonderful diplomat, with quite gracious manners.  Dear 
Ron doesn't have a diplomatic bone in his body, and he's only getting 
"acceptable" marks in his classes.  He hasn't shown any brillance at anything 
but chess -- despite his great loyalty and courage (except in the face of 
spiders and he DID overcome that fear enough to follow where Harry was 
leading).  Ron is a follower, not a leader.  Despite all the similarities, I 
can't see hot-tempered, short-fused, grudge-holding Ron evolving into 
sweet-natured, diplomatic, gracious, hugely powerful and wise Dumbledore even 
with 150 years of practice!  I think Ron is terrific, but I think Dumbledore 
is simply Dumbledore.  

And somebody mentioned that Voldie would only know Ron as Harry's red-headed 
sidekick.  Voldie's never seen Ron or Hermione in canon -- yet -- as far as I 
know (did I miss something?).  He's concerned with adult wizards, mudbloods, 
Muggle lovers, and primarily Harry Potter.  What I would like to know is, why 
Harry Potter????  Ever since he was a tiny baby, Voldie has been trying to 
kill him off.  WHY?!  Any ideas?
