Not that strange. Many here suppose that DD is an animagus. What we 
are missing is the form he takes.

Huh-huh ! I've always thought that those 2 bits (the past century 
bit, and DD's age) have to come in big somewhere. That could be it.

But DD owns a phoenix... Is he a masochist, or is Fawkes unaware of 
the danger ?

The hiding and Azkaban points are good ones too.

Which brings me to the next question : why would DD and McGonagall 
turn into the very same animal ? If that theory is right, I can't 
believe it's just a coincidence.
