 Probably he is in contact with some higher entity of the 
Potterverse? 


Tonks here:

Nice idea. DD's patronis is a Phoenix and he has a Phoenix as a 
loyal companion. Maybe DD is 150 because he does "recharge" ... 
somehow like the Phoenix. I think DD never dies total, but does 
something like the Phoenix does. And he does know more than LV 
because he is in touch with that something else behind the veil 
which is the source of the "old magic". Like a good shaman DD knows 
how to go "beyond the veil" a term used in shamanism as well. I also 
think that when he seems to be gone he is still in touch with what 
is going on. There is a reason that when DD apperates he doesn't 
make a sound. I don't think that any other wizard can do that, only 
him.
