Who, exactly, is Dumbledore

[meltowne]

No: HPFGUIDX 89311

I know it's a bit of a leap, but what if Dumbledore isn't Ron, but 
Harry?  What if Harry goes back 150 years to live after he defeats 
Voldemort?  Maybe he doesn't want to live in a time & place where 
everybody knows him, and expects great things of him.

He would know what Tom Riddle was before he even became LV, but would 
be unable to do anything about it - or risk altering his own past.  
He would know how he would be treated as a young child, but unable to 
change it.

His wisdom and intelligence would still be based on age and 
experience, just a different childhood than we might expect.  Of 
course, then we have to figure out where his brother came from, if he 
really is his brother.
