Peggy snipped a bit:



I also noticed that Dumbledore
was looking out the window when Harry came to his office that day, and
continued to look out the window at the end of their conversation before
Harry left, to supposedly get the cloak.  Dumbledore seems to me to be
watching or waiting for something.  I just think there was more going on
than we know about yet during that time.  What do you all think?



Snow:



I totally recall what I thought about this scene when I first read it
because I have a tendency to stare in this same manner when I realize that
things are about to change…it's like saying goodbye to the past even though
it hasn't been clarified as past yet. You just know that what you are seeing
is never going to be the same. This scene was clear to me that Dumbledore
was preparing himself for the inevitability of change. He was taking in the
last sunset fall on something that would never be the same. Whether or not
he knew his days were numbered or whether he visualized Hogwarts being
attacked for the first time or possibly both, Dumbledore was in quiet
solitude with a sight he would never see the same way again for better or
for worse.



Just my view
