Patrick chimes in here...

This is very interesting.  In CoS, during the scene where Dumbledore 
finds Harry at the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore mentions 
(paraphrase) "I don't need a cloak to become invisible."

Perhaps in the same way Skeeter becomes "invisible" (as a beetle) 
Dumbledore could become "invisible" as a bumblebee.  I think it's a 
very fitting name, considering his personality, but maybe we SHOULD 
be looking a bit harder at his name.
