In OotP where Fudge and all those ministry  workers are knocked out in DD's office, Dumbledore says something  about not having to go into hiding when he left the school ...He also  said to Fudge that even if he WAS sent to Azkaban, he could easily  break out. ... IF Dumbledore IS an animagus, wouldn't it be fitting that he  taught... oh, I don't know - Transfiguration? Well, according to Tom  Riddle, he did.   Rowling never puts in these little tidbits for the heck of it. ..."

Granny Responds:
This all goes back to my theory of cats being on the side of the "Good Guys"(Conventions, Clues, and Cats) and that JKR has been hinting to us all along that they will play some crucial role.  IMHO, this theory would be a beautiful missing link.  When I re-read the part in OotP about DD's escape from his office, it's perfectly clear that his behaviour is VERY catlike--quick, agile movements, grabbing Fawlk's tails feathers and disappearing in a "flash of fire".  There's even a contridiction here.  It's well known that one cannot diapperate within Hogwarts.  So how did DD pull off this disappearing act?  Could it be that he worked some sort of a memory charm and caused everyone to THINK they saw him and Fawlks disappear when he actually turned into a cat and simply jumped out the window?  Or, maybe Fawlk's fire actually CONCEALED the transfiguration.  My goodness, this is fun;  even imagined that the MM people would have said "RATS!" when they saw that DD was gone.  Oh well, can't
 wait to see what JKR has in store for us.
