Dumbledore is Ron? and Hermione is...

I was thinking about REDHEAD ALWAYS and how it's really the template 
for the Ron!Dumbledore idea, whereas theories like THROUGH A FIRE 
LONG A'DYING might be an offshoot of it.

I have an offshoot.  Maybe Hermione isn't McGonagall--that one never 
sat with me.  Maybe because I always thought that McGonagall was 
something of a mentor to Hermione.  (Mentoring yourself? That's so 
weird, it's like cheating or something.)

But what if it's another member of the Old Crowd?  Arabella Figg!  
We don't know anything about her, so there's no canon support for 
this or anything... yet.  She's presumably a witch living in secret, 
so she would have to know how to pass herself off as a muggle 
(unlike poor Archie).

Cheers!

who realizes there are probably more parallels but whose brain is 
tired (but happy) from bouncing REDHEAD ALWAYS around all day.
