Geoff:
I'm inclined to take the opposite view; I think if that was the case, 
Dumbledore was making a very dangerous assumption.

Amelia Bones is a legal eagle and strikes me as a pretty smart 
cookie. And I would imagine that Dumbledore, as the erstwhile Chief 
Warlock of the Wizengamot, knows her capabilities .







On the web site, JKR says that she *did not* see the dementors but not that she *could not*.  IIRC, Harry heard her turning the corner and running down the alley way *after* the dementors left.  It always struck me as strange her showing up at the hearing and testifying as she did since they were gone *before* she got there.  I do not have my books here with me (I am working at my second job right now and only have a stack of letters in front of me), but if someone has a better memory than I do, or their books close by, could you please correct me if I am incorrect?
