DD - maybe.

Is DD much, much older than 150? Is he resurrected, renewed,
reborn, revived, refurbished, renovated, restuffed and repolished
at intervals down the centuries? I've always felt that it's 
significant that DD "worked on Alchemy" with old Nick according to the
Chocolate Frog card; a card which is not new - it's one of the
commonest around. He's obviously been associated with Flamel
for years.

Is DD a ringer? Is DD telling the *whole* truth?
Could it be that he's 150 in *this* incarnation?
 
So, possibilities:-
1. DD is Flamel.
2. DD is using Flamels Stone to keep going through the centuries.
In which case DD could be a Merlin figure - roused from sleep when
great danger threatens.
3. DD is the enemy of whatever it is (Salazar?) that's animating or
motivating Voldy. And they've fought before - often. The Potterverse
is just the latest battleground in a war that goes waaaaay back, 
perhaps to the founding of Hogwarts or even further.

Yes, I've mentioned all of these things before. Also, and including, 
that Ron is Dumbledore and that the reason we have not seen his 
patronus is because it's obviously the same one. 

JKR quotes:
What form does Dumbledore's Patronus take? 
"Good question. Can anyone guess? You have had a clue. There was a 
little whisper there. It is a phoenix, which is very representative 
of Dumbledore for reasons that I am sure you can guess." 
 
How did Dumbledore get his scar in [of] the London Underground? 
"You may find out one day. I am very fond of that scar." 

I would get a kick if... 
Ron got blasted into the past during a fight/encounter with 
Bellatrix. (Perhaps there will be another fight at the DoM and Ron 
will get blasted into the curtain, but just as he flies through it 
Hagrid tosses him a portkey.) People will assume he is dead but he 
really is not.

Ron is transported back 132 years. He realizes that he is stuck in 
the past and goes to Hogwarts to finish his 7th year. As a joke he 
registers himself at school as Albus Dumbledore (not realizing that 
he will really be known as this person). Kind of like when Harry 
jumped on the Knight Bus and introduced himself as Neville, and we 
later find out the prophecy could have been about him. The last line 
of the book clues the readers to the fact that Ron is actually DD 
because we see a close-up of the scar on Ron's leg that looks like 
the london underground.  HAHAHA
