SSSusan:
"Just playing devil's advocate here...DO we know for certain that DD 
didn't know SB/JP/PP were animagi?  IIRC, there are folks here who 
believe DD knew all about it all along.  In fact, I think Kneasy just 
posted his belief that DD knew Wormtail was PP all these years.  So 
I'd ask, do we KNOW DD didn't know they were animagi, or is this yet 
another bit of into DD's keeping close to the chest?"


DuffyPoo now:
The night Black wascaptured,  DD came into the hospital wing and said "My apologies, Poppy, but I need a word with Mr. Potter and Miss Granger.  I have just been taling to Sirius Black --" "I suppose he's told you the same fairy tale he's planted in Potter's mind?" spat Snape. "Something about a rat, and Pettigrew being alive --" "That, indeed, is Black's story," said Dumbledore.  

The next day Harry goes to see Lupin before he leaves, then DD comes in, and says to Harry, "Sirius told me all about how they became Animagi last night," said Dumbledore, smiling. "An extraordinary achievement -- not least, keeping it quiet from me."  

DD SAYS he didn't know they were Animagi.  So, unless we're all supposed to believe he is intentionally lying to Harry here - and therefore to us - I can't see how we can take this any other way that that he truly didn't know there were three unregistered Animagi running around the school, or that Peter Pettigrew was sleeping in Gryffindor Tower.
