Kim had asked:
>...reference to whether DD has ever transformed himself into anyone or anything else?  

 Finwitch replied:
>Well, I haven't seen anything either way, apart from the part of being a transfiguration teacher, and a surname which happens to be an old word for bumblebee to point suggest animagus-ability in particular.

Then Patrick chimed in:
>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.
 

To which Kim replies:
 
By George (or shall I say By Ginny?), I think you're both on to something!
