Tonks responded:

"For reasons that I am sure you can guess"!!??? What did she mean
by that??? Is DD imortal like the Phoenix?? Or because he has the
Order of the Phoenix? But the Order is representative of Christ. I
know everyone must be tired of hearing that, but it is what it is.

Who is DD?? I know we have gone round on this before. But... "for
reasons that I am sure you can guess" ... well I can't guess!!! Is
it suppose to be that obvious? When I say that he is God, everyone
says he is just a human. Well that doesn't make sense either.

Is he God, Christ, Nicholas Flamel, or just some old wizard human
with a bird??? I tend to think that he is God or maybe Christ, but
my first guess is God. So go ahead folks, what does she mean??? I
suppose that one could say that he is St. Peter, I could see that.
But Hagrid has the Keys.. so Hagrid should be St. Peter. ???


vmonte again:

Well, a phoenix is a bird that dies but is reborn again and again. If 
the phoenix represents Dumbledore it may just mean that Dumbledore 
has lived several lives, or that he lived the lives of several 
people. Confused yet? To make it simple, maybe it just means that 
Dumbledore has lived under several aliases.
