DD knows where they are

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?

Snow:

I like your idea Aggie! Dumbledore even comments about how much he 
likes Molly's fascinating clock. As for the twelve people he watches 
over, I can think of a few right off.

Clock Hands and excuse as to why they were "chosen":

1st-Harry (of course)
2nd-Fudge (keep your friends close but your enemies closer)
3rd and 4th- James and Lily Potter (at least at some point they were, 
that's how he possibly knew about the attack)
5th-Neville (how else did Dumbledore know that he was brave against 
his friends? Specifically Harry)
6th-Ron (same applies to Ron, how did DD know about the sacrifice of 
Ron's chess piece? Also that he is Harry's best friend)
7th-Hermione (again DD knows about Hermione's knowledge of Herbology 
and I suspect talks to her in a double talk manner in his speeches so 
that she can enlighten her best friend Harry)
8th- Lucius Malfoy (DD pretty much telling Lucius I know you got more 
stuff like the diary at home, if you do it again there will be 
consequences)
9th-? (someone who either was friend or foe to Harry and the quest)
10th-? (ditto to no. 9)
11th-Tom Riddle/Voldemort (how else would DD have concluded that 
Riddle was Voldemort?) 
12th-Snape (this one I saved specifically for twelve o'clock! Over 
Harry or Riddle/Voldemort because he spies on both Harry and 
Voldemort for DD. Snape was spying on what Voldemort was doing 
through his occlumency teaching with Harry. Snape's hesitation in 
answering Harry's question of "I guess that's your job, to spy, is 
it" can possibly construed as well yes in a way I am spying on 
Voldemort through you silly boy)  


My question to you Aggie is what possible perils or safe zones (like 
Weasley's clock
 at home, at work, in mortal danger) appear on the 
watch?
