Ergo ? Dumble himself must be of the top Potions Masters of WW.  I 
find it hard to believe he was just a clerk for Flamel. We don?t know 
what he was doing for better part of his life, so he could easily 
enjoy *beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering 
fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, 
bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses*.
 
So why he was teaching transfiguration? He is powerful enough to be 
equally good in both fields. But still... 

vmonte responds:
Great comments!  Maybe DD is Flamel.  I don't think that it is a 
coincidence that DD is at Hogwarts -- he needed to be there. 
(I think that the Order is much older than we have been lead to 
believe.)
