My very first post! Hooray!

I like the crackpot theory, too; it's charming and fun to think 
about, the Bertie Bott evidence is interesting, and I could even 
accept explaining away the JKR quote. However, alas, I don't think I 
can jump on board.

I'm thinking of this from OotP:

"'I doubt it,' shouted tiny Professor Marchbanks, 'not if Dumbledore 
doesn't want to be found! I should know
 examined him personally in 
Transfiguration and Charms when he did NEWTs
 did things with a wand 
I'd never seen before.'"

And then I start wondering how time travelling Ron shows up at the 
Hogwarts of the past and presents himself for NEWTs even though he's 
never been a student there. Then on top of that the formerly average 
student Ron shows genius abilities that amaze the tester. I don't 
think Ron's stupid or untalented, but he would have a lot of catching 
up to do in the next two years to make that plausible, I'm afraid.

Sigh. I was all excited about it for about 10 minutes there. Maybe I 
should get a BB GUN instead.
