But my  point is that he apparently really did have it with him. 
When he went back  to the dorm, he just got out the potion and the map and 
talked to Ron and  Hermione.  So did Dumbledore think he didn't have the 
cloak?  Or  was Dumbledore giving him an excuse to go give the map and potion 
to Ron  and Hermione?  Or was Dumbledore doing something else while Harry was 
 
going back to supposedly get the cloak?  If he'd actually gotten the  cloak 
when he went back, I wouldn't wonder about it.  But the book  specifically 
describes what he got and what he did.  So I wonder if  there's something 
more going on.

Interesting, I missed that.  I agree that on a careful read  it sounds like 
Harry just used the cloak as an excuse to go back to the  dorm.
 
Harry could have said that he had it, so I don't think Dumbledore was  
looking for time.  Besides, Dumbledore could have waited longer before  calling 
Harry if he had something he wanted to do.  No, I think it was  totally Harry and 
that he wanted to give the others the potion.
 
I'm glad you pointed this out because it causes me to give more credit to  
JKR.  I thought she had just had him forget it to make it easier for  herself as 
a writer.  Actually this show that as usual, she thought it out  well.
