sad1199 here:

Could somebody please direct me to the text where it states that 
Dumbledore says that Aberforth can't read? I would like to read it 
to be able to reply properly to this very interesting post. If I 
recall correctly, no, I can't recall correctly, that's the problem. 
Please help.

Have a HAPPY, LOVE filled day! sad1199
