I concur with the idea of DD being an unregistered animagus. While listening 
to the books on tape I noticed something that hadn't registered while reading 
them for myself. Before DD was made headmaster of Hogwarts, he was the 
transfiguration teacher. One would think, with his skill at fighting LV that he 
would have been the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher but not so! If he 
is an expert at transfiguration, and if he as brilliant as everyone says he is, 
then I think its a shoo-in that he's an animagus. It would be a simple matter 
for him to transfigure himself. The question is, what is he? My first thought 
was Hedwig. What better way to watch over Harry? I'm trying to remember 
whether there are any scenes where Hedwig and DD appear together. Can 
someone with a better memory than me enlighten me on my recollections?
