It's kind of suspicious when the beloved brother of the deceased 
does not show to his funeral. He's not mentioned any where!

Juli now:

I had previously posted a reply to Jules' message, but Yahoomort 
sent it before it was finished, so I deleted it and wrote it again, 
and yahoo mort ate it!! I'm so mad I had written a lot. Well here it 
goes again, I hope this time it actually gets delivered.

Are you talking about Dumbledore's brother? cause he was at the 
funeral: "and some people whom Harry merely knew by sight, such as 
the barman of the Hog's Head and the witch who pushed the trolley on 
the Hogwarts Express. " 

On HRH's first trip to Hogsmeade on HBP they meet Aberforth:
"One was very tall and thin; squinting through his rain-washed 
glasses Harry recognized the barman who worked in the other 
Hogsmeade pub, the Hog's Head"

He's mentioned in the DD's memory of when Tom Riddle wants a 
job "I'm merely on friendly terms with the bartender"

In the other books he was also mentioned:
On GoF DD tells HRH and Hagrid about his brother who was caught 
doing improper spells with a goat.

In OoP Moody shows Harry the Original OoP, and says Aberforth is 
a "funny bloke"

I think in PoA Harry mentions the "bartender smelled like goat and 
looked familiar" 

And at the DA's first meeting at Hogsmeade: "The bartender looked as 
if he had never seen his bar so crowded".

I know he's mentiones other times, but I just can't look through all 
the books again, sorry I don't have the exact quotes, but I had them 
in the original post (the one YahooMort ate)
