>Just as a quick example, how *did* he know that
>Harry was visiting the "Mirror of Erised" in the first place.


(SS, US version, p 213) <Harry has gone into the room for the 3rd time,
apparently passing DD in the room>
"So," said Dumbledore, slipping off the desk to to site on the floor with
Harry, "you, like hundreds before you, have discovered the delights of the
Mirror of Erised."
"I didn't know it was called that, sir."
"But I expect you've realized by now what it does?"
"It - well - it shows me my family - "
"And it showed your friend Ron himself as head boy."
"How did you know - ?"
"I don't need a cloak to become invisible." said Dumbledore gently. "Now,
can you think what the Mirror of Erised shows us all?"

Christina: So now we know that DD knew Harry was there because DD can become
invisible aparently at will and doesn't need a cloak to do it. He also
appears to just "know" things. I guess that also comes with being over 150
years old (guessing his age).

Does anyone ever think we read too much into these books? If JKR were to
read some of these messages breaking down the books and comparing them to
religion, mythology, etc would she scratch her head and say "Where on earth
did they come up with that?"

glasses, I fear the >opposite--that Harry will become helpless [kinda like
Fearless >Fly--remember him, anybody?] if he gets separated from his

Christina : <hearing Velma from Scooby Doo> I can't find my glasses. Scooby,
help me find my glasses. <end> Sorry, I couldn't help thinking of that.  : )
