Me (aja_1991) again:

Hey, it works, doesn't it? :-)  And we don't that Dumbledore DOESN'T 
have that ability, or some type of remote sight skills, or 
clairvoyance, etc, etc.

Dumbledore says something in PS/SS when confronting Harry at the 
Mirror of Erised to the affect of "I don't need a cloak to be 
invisible."  Hmmm...

The only problem I have with this whole thing (even though I pretty 
much tossed it out as an idea) is that if Dumbledore *DID* see what 
happened, why didn't he (1) "reconnect" himself and (2) apparate to 
Godric's Hollow and save James or Lily or Harry?

Of course, there's that whole Dumbledore-Is-Ron theory...
