Aggie:   
This comment of yours made me wonder if DD had one of those clocks like the Weasley's.  He could 'programme' it to show whoever he liked.
Once I started writing this though, I was hit by an inspirational bolt of lightening!!  What about his *watch*?  It is mentioned several times and it is never explained how it works, AND it's on JKR's web site (when Peeves comes)!! OOOH I'm all excited!  I've had a brainwave! (It doesn't happen very often!)  I'm sure that this has been discussed thousands of times and someone will be along shortly and burst my bubble!!

IMO it would solve some of the mysteries as how DD KNOWS so much.  He has a list, (12 hands I do believe the watch has)  of the 12 people he wants to keep tabs on and then he just has to look at his watch to know where they are.

It would explain how he knew he should be a Hogwarts in PS/SS, and how he knew to be early at Harry's hearing in OotP and I'm sure there are loads of other times that this would explain, WITHOUT reverting to Time Travel!

Who do you think the 12 are? 
Any thoughts on this?
