  Well one way I think DD gets his information is via his network of 
Chocolate Frog Cards... DD says when they threaten to take away his 
Order of Merln  that he just hopes they don't take him off the 
Chocolate Frog Cards - that reads like he is being humorous... I 
personally think he was quite serious. We know that the past 
headmasters can move between their pictures where ever those might 
be... so why not the current headmaster. And it appears that DD is the 
only contemporary wizard on those cards... others that have been 
mentioned are historical or mythological or even biblical witches and 
wizards. So I think DD goes wandering at night dropping in on his CFCs 
and maybe conversing with other portraits ... or who/what ever he 
finds.
