I've been reading this speculation that Dumbledore can turn into a
bumblebee (or insect animagus) and it got me thinking about Buckbeak's
escape. I always found it rather odd that the executioner finds
Buckbeak gone, and Dumbledore seems to know how it happened. He tells
them to search the sky, not the forest, where Buckbeak is stashed. But
this is well before Dumbledore has Harry and Hermoine go back in time
with the Turner. This has me thinking: did Dumbledore have a Time
Turner as well, thus enabling there to be two Dumbledores that night?
If the theory about Dumbledore being a bumblebee, who knew all those
goings-on in the shack, is correct, could Dumbledore 1 or 2 have gone
back to the Shack that night and overhear everything that passed in the
Shack? However, he could not interfere, probably due to the rule about
interfering in timelines. Could this be the reason why he was so
willing to believe Sirius, or, for that matter, speak to him at all?
And do you remember Pettigrew darting his eye to the window in the
Shack? Did he perhaps see Dumbledore in his animagus form, and being an
animagus himself, he could recognise Dumbledore? Could this be another
reason why Pettigrew was so scared?
