Jenni from Alabama responds:

I think that if JK chose Dumbledore's past (like a prequel to the 
Harry Potter books)to write about, we'd end up with all of our 'old 
heroes' included in the book. Since Dumbledore has always been (as 
far as we know) the leader of the Order of the Pheonix, all the 
members of this organization would be included in the story of his 
life. This would include the Potters, the Longbottoms, Mad-Eye, and 
Dean's father (if he was a member of the Order).
 
I really would like to see the battles that the Potters and the 
Longbottoms had with Voldemort. I bet they were extraordinary! 
Dumbledore says that both sets of parents narrowly escaped. 
(According to the prophecy they had each already defied Voldemort 
three times - so that is SIX battles. pgs. 841 and 842 OotP)

It would also be interesting to see how Harry's and Neville's lives 
were before Voldemort came and killed Harry's parents and Barty 
Crouch Jr. tortured the Longbottoms into insanity.

Of course, Moody's many battles and captures of dark wizards would 
be awesome. That's a given. But, IMO, if JK wrote about DD's life, 
and the things that impacted him in a major way, all the battles I 
mentioned could be included.

OotP movie in July 2007)
