The Ron=DD theory has always fascinated me. The questions over the fact of
DD knowing something he shouldnt before it happens are quite intriguing
making it appear logical that someone went back in time and became DD.
This much I believe could be true, someone could have. I do however have a
bit of difficulty as to Ron being the one to do it. Ron has never shown any
signs of being "extremely" talented in the ways that would be necessary to
perform such a feat. The one that I had seen as at least capable were Fred
and George. Some initial examples: (sounds ludicrous? please read on)
(1) At least one of them is quite skilled having turned Rons teddy bear
into a spider when he was three, which would have meant the twins were five
(not bad transfiguration for a 5 year old, which was Fred by the way)
(2) They are also very experimental and creative with their inventions.
(Especially the headless hats which, Hermione points out, appear to have an
invisibility spell on them which extends the field of invisibility beyond
the boundaries of the charmed object) which (a) makes me think about what DD
is telling Harry in the first book that he doesnt need a cloak to become
invisible, and (b) DD has also been experimental himself in dragon's blood
and alchemy.
(3) Harry gave them the Tri-Wizard Tournament money that they used to
continue their experiments and open the joke shop. (They also use a lot of
candies in their experiments, we know DD likes sweets and also likes a good
joke like; the Christmas cracker hat with the vulture on it that DD wore in
PoA)
(4) They had apparently, already used a type of time-turner method in GoF
when they made the bet with Bagman. (They new the exact outcome of the
International Quidditch game)
(5) The twins are also found helping or protecting Harry in every book. This
help, concern, protection type behavior from the twins for Harry seems to
become greater with each book.
These are just a few examples that would make the twins more apt to be DD.
But, when I first noticed just how very talented they were and thought of
the likelihood of the DD scenario I immediately dismissed the idea because,
of course, there are "two" of them. Just recently however when I was
reading, the idea relit when I saw DDs brother Aberforth. Could Aberforth
possibly be Albus twin? Could they both have gone back in time?
I honestly dont see any more of a problem with this Twins/DD theory than
the Ron/DD theory, both scenarios are equally questionable. I do favor this
one because of the twins greater capabilities.
