This post is referring to a section on the Harry Potter Lexicon about 
Dumbledore being related to the Riddle Family. The name of Tom Riddle 
jr.'s grandfather on his mother's side (the magical side) was Marvolo 
(sp?).  The author made the hypothesis that Dumbledore might be 
Voldemort's grandfather. The writer of the piece said that their 
theory might be right if Dumbledore's middle name was stated. 
Dumbledore's middle name had been mentioned in The Order of the 
Phoenix. On page 139 in the chapter entitled "The Hearing", 
Dumbledore is a witness to Harry Potter's trial. For the record, his 
full name was stated, "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore". 
Could someone contact the Lexicon and tell them the error of their 
ways?
