So.... maybe... Dumbledore invisibly follows Harry around the
school.

I believe you are correct, theredshoes86, and I think I can prove
it. Based on what I know of J.K. and her writing style, I know that
she scrutinizes over every name in her books, and each has
double, or even tripple meanings. (to see what I mean, try and
find out about the symbolic meanings of Lilies and Petunias). I
never knew what "Dumbledore" meant until I read "THe
Mysteries and Secrets of Harry Potter" (the reason I got "Hooked
on Harry" in the first place, an awesome read, I highly
recommend it). The book says that Dumbledore means
"bulmblebee" in olde english. What does this have to do with
anything? Piece of proof #2: Riddle says that Dumbledore was
his transfiguration teacher. McGonagall is the current teacher,
and she can turn into a cat. It seems to imply that in order to
teach Transfigurastion, you must be able to transfigure yourself.
Since Riddle would have no reason to lie abut which class
Dumbledore taught, I am assuming (for the time being) that we
can trust him on htis one. I can only conclude that Dumbledoe
can turn into a bee, if not some kind of insect. Re-read and note
all of the instances when Harry or someone else hears a bug
(and it may not be Rita Skeeter). If you ask me, this would be a
guise fit for the omniscient professor. Who would suspect a fly in
their room of being the ever-present Headmaster?
