Finwitch:

What's wrong with this Dumbledore's Ron -business, is the existence of
his *brother*, namely Aberforth. Weasley twins as Dumbledore-brothers,
now that would work a bit better. Or maybe Bill&Charlie even more so.

But I just don't buy it. Just because his hair used to be *auburn*?
Bother that, if Dumbledore's metamorphmagus, hair-colour says NOTHING.
Being able to become invisible could be the ultimate version of
methamorphmagi - making yourself grow Demiguise-hair, perhaps?...

And besides, Dumbledore's seeming omniscience (which was already
proven to be WRONG assumption, he HAS made errors, namely the one
about the car-business!) is well explained by experience, Legilimency,
portraits, Chocolate-frog cards, his ability to become invisible...
and I wouldn't be surprised if even Walls have ears at Hogwarts.
(Honest, if walls can pretend to be doors, why not?).
