I was reading the information about Ron being DD. It seems to me that most
of the information is not specific to Ron. Most can also be related to
Harry.
There is mention of young DD's hair being auburn. If I remember correctly
Lily is actually describe often with Auburn hair. Also Auburn hair is very
different from "bright red". There was also hinting that JK would bring the
metamorh back into the story but we were actually already introduced to the
idea in PS/SS. Harry's hair always looks the same. No matter how often he
gets it cut. I believe Vernon makes a comment about how often Harry needs a
hair cut.
A comparison is made between Ron and DD because they both have a love of
sweets and how Ron in PS tells Harry all about the WW sweets. Harry was
first intorduced to the sweets on the train and the cart had just come by.
Harry often recieves Bertie Botts from Ron for Christmas so it would seem
that Harry would have a more likely chance to encounter the vomit flavoured
bean.
DD knowing exactly what Ron saw in the mirror can be taken as proof that
DD=Harry just as easily as Ron = DD since he knew what both Harry and Ron
saw in the mirror. It was also brought up that DD saw himself getting
socks. This could also be taken as a Harry conection. The socks seem to be
associated with a mothers love. Yes Ron always recieved socks from Molly
and never apperciated them but it could be taken as Harry wanting a mother
to love him. He never truly had a mother and it is possible that Molly (his
surrogate) will end up being killed. DD is often said to be wearing purple
or maroon which could be Harry honouring his best friend who was killed at
the hand of the enemy.
Harry's scar was always regarded as DD as an important thing to be left
alone. It is the way that LV can communicate his feelings and thoughts to
Harry. This could be a way for DD to be a step ahead.
If Harry is DD this also could be what was meant when DD said about the
relationship being what they "ever had been". It also makes more sense
that Harry is DD from the PS quote saying that "I would trust Hagrid with my
life. "
Other suggestions that seem to be more like Harry are the belief in Sirius
(he was Harry's godfather) and Hagrid's hut. These are all Harry type
situations. Harry also develops a love of wizards chees through Ron. He is
not nearly as good as Ron but he does start to play.

>From Helen:
Well... maybe. I do think Harry is a Metamorphmagus, but while Dumbledore
seems to know a lot, he doesn't know things Harry would know (but Ron
wouldn't). Like what is in the Prophecies and the extent of how bad the
Dursleys are to Harry. And if you read through the whole thing again, you
see little clues like with the socks and Dumbledore mentioning the Weasley
clock that just fit Ron.
Regardless, I *do* think Dumbledore is a time traveler.
