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...
